King Charles III strips 15 people of honours - check the full list
The Cabinet Office list shows 15 forfeitures this year for criminal convictions, professional censure and conduct that brought the honours system into disrepute.
- His Majesty revoked 15 honours in 2026, including OBEs and MBEs, for criminal convictions, professional censure, or actions bringing the honours system into disrepute, the Cabinet Office confirmed.
- Liam Walker, leader of the Oxfordshire Conservatives, commended the move earlier this year, saying "stripping those honours helps protect the integrity and value of the honours system."
- Ben Key lost his KCB and CBE following professional censure, while Ian Hudson forfeited his 2020 OBE after a criminal conviction; Graham Trewhella and Lloyd Hamilton also lost their MBEs earlier this year.
- The Cabinet Office list shows eight forfeitures occurred in March, with five additional removals finalized in October, following Jeffrey Donaldson's knighthood removal earlier this year.
- Among those losing titles are a leading politician, a former BBC star, and an award-winning composer, reflecting efforts since January to address professional misconduct and censure.
