Prince Andrew facing grilling over links to Chinese ‘spy’ who was ‘invited to the shamed Duke’s birthday party’ – and has now been banished from the UK
Prince Andrew is under intense investigation over links to an alleged Chinese spy who has banned MI5 from Britain.
The Far Eastern agent was apparently so close to the royal family that he was invited to the Duke of York’s birthday party. Yet he has now been banned from Britain ‘on security grounds’.
An adviser to Andrew reportedly bragged to the alleged Chinese spy: “You’re sitting at the top of a tree that a lot of people would like to sit in.”
The alleged ghost got so close to the British establishment that he was authorized to act on behalf of the duke to seek investors in China, a secret hearing has been told.
It is the latest humiliation for Prince Andrew, who is already a royal pariah after being forced to step back from his palace duties following the Jeffrey Epstein pedophile scandal.
Andrew, a former British trade envoy, has long courted influential businessmen. But when it came to the Chinese man, MI5 reportedly discovered that the 50-year-old businessman was a member of the Chinese Communist Party and worked for the United Front Work Department, which collects intelligence.
In an extraordinary trial conducted largely behind closed doors, the Chinese businessman has now been exposed as an alleged Chinese spy.

The alleged spy was banned from entering Britain, a decision upheld by immigration judges, and after appealing to the Special Immigration Appeals Commission he lost, with their decision made public this evening.
During the legal proceedings, which have now been made public, judges were told that data from the alleged spy’s phone showed how Prince Andrew was involved.
A hearing was told the contents of the businessman’s mobile phone were downloaded when he was stopped under counter-terrorism laws at a UK border in 2021.
The contents of the mobile phone revealed that the Duke of York had given the man permission to set up an international financial initiative known as the Eurasia Fund to connect with potential partners and investors in China.
