Donaldson’s Knighthood Revoked | Cork News
Description
Former DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson has had his knighthood officially revoked following his June conviction for 18 historical sex offenses, including rape, against two girls from 1985 to 2008. He also stepped down from the Privy Council after voluntarily requesting to forfeit both honors amid public outcry. The knighthood, awarded in 2016, was formally annulled in the Gazette, marking a major official response to his crimes. Donaldson remains jailed at Maghaberry Prison, awaiting sentencing, while his legal team has filed an appeal — signaling that this high-profile case is far from resolved.
