What do we know about former civil servant who some claim is regarded as a close confidante of the Duke of York?
against a decision to bar him from entering the UK on national security grounds. Known only as H6, who is he and what are his links to Prince Andrew?H6 is a businessman and alleged Chinese spy described in court as having formed “an unusual degree of trust” with the Duke of York, and who is now banned from the UK. He was first prevented from entering Britain in 2023 by the then home secretary, Suella Braverman.
A former civil servant, H6 brought legal action for a review of the decision, arguing that it was unlawful. The tribunal in London heard that H6 had said he avoided involvement in politics and had only limited links to the Chinese state. His representative told the tribunal he had never been a senior member of the CCP and had not carried out activities on its behalf.
The Chinese embassy in London criticised “baseless ‘spy’ stories targeting China”. Their purpose was “to smear China and disrupt normal exchanges between Chinese and British personnel”, it said. H6, 50, has met two former prime ministers over the past 15 years, according to the Sunday Times – David Cameron at a Downing Street reception and Theresa May at a black-tie event.H6 brought a case to the Special Immigration Appeals Commission to appeal against his exclusion from the UK. Judges ruled on Thursday that Braverman had been entitled to conclude that he represented a risk to the national security, and he was granted an interim anonymity order.
