Earlier this year, in March, King Charles approved the forfeiture of honours from nine other individuals in a single batch, as recorded in related Gazette notices. Those nine included Ian Ashbolt, who lost the MBE he received in 2016 for a criminal conviction and Lloyd Hamilton, stripped of his 2011 MBE for a criminal conviction. Angela Middleton had her 2019 MBE forfeited for “bringing the honours system into disrepute”, while Nigel O’Connor lost his 2015 MBE following professional censure. Tony Reilly's 2011 OBE was also cancelled after professional censure, and Anant Shah lost his 2020 OBE for “bringing the honours system into disrepute”. Government guidance says honours are revoked where an individual is deemed to have brought the honours system into disrepute, with the Forfeiture Committee assessing cases and making recommendations to the Prime Minister and, ultimately, to the King.
