Prince Andrew Excluded from Christmas at Sandringham Over Alleged Chinese Spy Yang Tengbo Links
Dec 17, 2024, 01:18 AM
Prince Andrew will not attend the Royal Family's traditional Christmas gathering at Sandringham due to his connection with an alleged Chinese spy, Yang Tengbo. Reports indicate that Andrew's ties to Tengbo, who has been banned from entering the UK, have raised significant concerns within British politics. Former Tory leader Tom Tugendhat warned that this situation may only be 'the tip of the iceberg' regarding China's influence in the UK. The scandal has prompted calls for the government to officially designate China as a threat to national security, a move that Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer is reportedly resisting due to potential economic implications. As the controversy unfolds, it has put King Charles III in a difficult position regarding his brother's involvement in the royal family and the broader implications for UK-China relations.
