Prince Andrew “Ceased contact with Alleged Chinese Spy”.
Prince Andrew, brother of the British King, who stepped back from the public after his disastrous television interview justifying the friendship he had with Jeffrey Epstein is now in the crosshairs for another scandal involving his friendship with an accused Chinese spy.
BBC reports Andrew released a Friday statement, asserting that “he has ceased all contact” he with a businessman who is accused of espionage. He said he met the man through “official channels” and “nothing sensitive was ever discussed.”
BBC reported that the secret court ruling in 2023 found the alleged spy known as H6 guilty of attempting to use Andrew’s influence. Buckingham Palace’s official press office did not respond to the allegations. They said that Andrew is a non-working Royal and therefore outside their jurisdiction. Andrew refused to comment on the BBC’s request.
The Times of London continued the story on Saturday, reporting that Andrew continued to list the Buckingham Palace address as the Chinese branch of his start up funding company despite being told to stop in 2019.
Prince Andrew’s Pitch@Palace Global project, which connected startups with investors, was suspended in 2021 following his disastrous BBC Newsnight article about his connections with Jeffrey Epstein, a disgraced investor. The Times reports that legal records show that he maintained an interest in a Chinese firm, which listed Buckingham Palace as his address until 2023.
The paper reports Andrew controls Pitch@Palace Global Limited through a trust and that it remains active, with substantial cash reserves.
