King Charles has been briefed by British intelligence over a major security breach linking Prince Andrew to a Chinese spy – the King's brother says he's now ceased contact
King Charles has been updated by UK intelligence services on a significant security issue that ties Prince Andrew to an alleged Chinese spy, according to the Mirror. British counter-intelligence is investigating how the Duke of York came to trust the now-exiled Chinese figure as his "confidante."
Judges were told that H6 had developed a close bond with Prince Andrew, even scoring an invitation to his 2020 birthday bash and being informed he could represent the Royal. However, it has now emerged that MI5, the UK's domestic security service, fears the Prince's Chinese associate might have been acting as a "gateway" agent, paving the way into Andrew's circle for Chinese intelligence.
A security insider revealed to the Daily Mirror, "The access this person would have had could have produced what China would view as a goldmine of information. Intelligence reporting on the Prince himself would have been of interest, perhaps producing telephone numbers, addresses, dates of forthcoming events and facts regarding his business and financial vulnerabilities."
During the proceedings, it was disclosed that after being detained by UK border security in November 2021, H6 handed over several electronic devices, including a mobile phone. A letter found on one of his electronic devices read: "Outside of closest internal confidants, you sit at the very top of a tree that many, many people would like to be on."
In March 2020, the Duke was forced to step down from all public roles due to his connections with Epstein, who died in prison, and socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently incarcerated. In 2022, Prince Andrew paid £12million in a financial settlement to accuser Virginia Giuffre, who alleged he had sex with her, to avoid appearing in a US court.
