Hindustan Times  

Prince Andrew stated he “ceased all contact” with a businessman accused of being a Chinese spy who has been barred from the United Kingdom.

The Duke’s office explained in a statement that the businessman, identified as H6, was introduced to Andrew through official channels, and “nothing of a sensitive nature” was ever discussed, per Daily Mail. Prince Andres responds to national security briefing A briefing to the home secretary in July 2023 highlighted these risks, citing H6’s “close confidante” with Andrew as part of the threat.
