Prince Andrew Cuts Ties with Alleged Spy H6

Prince Andrew has publicly stated that he ceased all contact with a businessman, known only as H6, who has been labeled a suspected Chinese spy after concerns about his links to the Chinese state were raised. H6, described as a 'close confidant' of the Duke, lost an appeal to overturn a ban on entering the UK, which was upheld by judges citing national security risks. The tribunal noted H6's unusual access to the Duke and his potential to leverage relationships for political interference, which raised alarms for British intelligence. Andrew's office insists that no sensitive matters were ever discussed and that he followed government advice in severing ties. Senior politicians, including former Home Secretary Suella Braverman, have called for H6's identity to be disclosed to enhance transparency and deter foreign espionage. This incident adds to the scrutiny surrounding Prince Andrew, who has faced significant challenges to his reputation over recent years.
