    Prince Andrew Invited Alleged Chinese Spy Yang Tengbo, Banned from UK, to Buckingham Palace; Met David Cameron and Theresa May

    Dec 16, 2024, 11:02 AM

    Prince Andrew is facing renewed scrutiny following revelations that he invited an alleged Chinese spy, Yang Tengbo, into several royal residences, including Buckingham Palace. Yang, who was banned from entering the UK due to national security concerns, was described as a 'close confidant' of the Duke of York. Reports indicate that Yang had met with former UK Prime Ministers David Cameron and Theresa May, raising alarms about his influence and connections. The High Court recently lifted an anonymity order, allowing Yang's name to be publicly disclosed. This incident has sparked calls from Members of Parliament for greater transparency regarding the identities of individuals with potential ties to espionage activities within the UK. The situation has been characterized as a 'tip of the iceberg' regarding broader concerns about Chinese influence in Britain, prompting discussions about the implications for national security and diplomatic relations with China.
