The man was banned from entering the UK in 2023 after the country's former interior ministry found he had engaged in 'covert and deceptive activity'.
Prince Andrew has "ceased all contact" with a businessman accused of being a Chinese spy who had forged links with the disgraced royal. Andrew's contact with the man dominated the United Kingdom's front pages on Friday, the latest humiliation for a prince whose reputation is already in tatters over his ties to accused sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The tribunal heard that the prince's aide, Dominic Hampshire, told the suspected spy that he could help in potential dealings with Chinese investors. "Outside of his closest internal confidants, you sit at the very top of a tree that many, many people would like to be on," Hampshire told H6 in a 2020 letter. H6 also received an invitation to the prince's birthday party.
