Prince Andrew reportedly invited a businessman accused of being a Chinese spy to Buckingham Palace and other royal residences, raising national security concerns. The businessman, known as H6, was banned from the UK on security grounds, and Andrew has since ceased contact with him. The incident highlights potential political interference strategies by China and has led to calls for greater transparency in royal finances. The royal family has distanced itself from Andrew, with King Charles reportedly cutting his financial support.
A Chinese businessman, identified as H6, has been banned from the UK on national security grounds due to his close ties with Prince Andrew and alleged connections to the Chinese United Front Work Department, which is suspected of political interference. The case raises further questions about Prince Andrew's judgment, following his previous controversies.
An alleged Chinese spy, known as H6, who developed a close relationship with Prince Andrew, has been banned from re-entering the UK after a national security court ruling. H6 was suspected of being involved in influence operations for the Chinese Communist Party, leveraging his connection with the Duke of York. The court upheld the decision to exclude H6, citing potential risks to UK national security. The Chinese embassy criticized the ruling, dismissing it as part of a broader effort to smear China.
