Prince Andrew’s involvement with alleged Chinese spy Yang Tengbo is back in the news again after Buckingham Palace released a rare statement regarding The King and his involvement in the matter. The Duke of York, who worked with Tengbo as a business advisor, was already forced to stay home on Christmas due to the fallout from his friendship with the businessman. But on Friday, April 4, King Charles was brought into the scandal after new papers revealed he'd secretly met with Andrew regarding potential business deals.
Tengbo—who was known as "H6" in initial documents before his name was identified— lost a 2024 appeal with the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (SIAC) to stay in the U.K. Per the BBC, a judge claimed the businessman "represented a risk to the national security of the United Kingdom" and had an "unusual degree of trust from a senior member of the Royal Family who was prepared to enter into business activities with him."
