Prince Andrew has declared that he has ceased all contact with a businessman identified as a potential Chinese spy, following government advice. The individual, referred to as H6, was banned from the UK after a national security court ruled him a ‘close confidant’ of the duke, despite claims that their discussions were not sensitive. The court had upheld the ban based on evidence suggesting that H6 aimed to exploit Prince Andrew’s influence for potential political gain. This incident renews scrutiny over the prince’s judgment and conduct amid ongoing controversies.
