Alleged Chinese spy had 'unusual degree of trust' with Prince Andrew | BBC News

An alleged Chinese spy who formed an "unusual degree of trust" with the Duke of York has been banned from the UK, after a judgement by the UK's semi-secret national security court.

The man, known only as H6 and described as a "close confidant" to Prince Andrew, brought an appeal against his initial ban but the decision was upheld by the court.

Judges were told the businessman was attempting to leverage Prince Andrew's influence.

Buckingham Palace declined to comment, saying they do not act for the prince, who is not a working royal.

All of Andrews "friends " appear to be dodgy, a bit like himself.

[harryhalloumi]

This guy is a walking disaster.
Absolutely clueless.

[philthycat]

The Tower of London was used for situations such as this.

[BennyboiCountries]

Prince Andrew is really gonna be sweating again once he finds out people know about this

[thebeardedwanderer-zb]

prince andrew, the gift that keeps on giving

[annepollock]

Andrew doesn't appear to be very bright, does he?

[williamgiven]

When your family owns the country, you can do as you please. Don't even try to deny it.

[andrewpease]

I think “greed “is the word that the reporter was grasping for towards the end

[MJ-qbph]

Ignorance and arrogance combined is a dire combination

[juliusnovachrono]

Why is everyone who is associated with Prince Andrew, either extremely dodgy or just suspect?

[rebthirteen]

His choice of ‘friends’ appears to speak volumes about his character.

[carlowingfield]

If the Chinese spy was looking for intelligence he sure picked the wrong guy .

[davidlee]

Here we go again! Andrew is a total embarrassment to this country. Entitled snob.

[TotalEquilibrium]

A little hard up after his funding got cut so started selling secrets as a side hustle. Send him to prison.

[martinwyke]

One more reason the UK needs to become a republic.

[Adamdoeslife]

"He's been cut off financially" what a load of tof that is. Really annoying a whole family and extended family can live off tax money in this day and age. Ridiculous. I'm sure if it went to a vote they wouldn't still there.

[corvus]

Long past time to abolish the monarchy.

[margaretalice]

Prince Andrew has had so many staffers to help him & advise him he cannot be portrayed as being misguided. He knows only too well what he does/did. How conceited

[richardt]

Chinese ? I thought he only went to Pizza Express 😂😂😂

But you won’t report on the BBC corespondent who just got an 8 year sentence for child related crimes 🤔
