A court has released documents relating to the royal, which shed new light on links to Yang Tengbo.

Summary

Newly released court documents reveal Prince Andrew maintained ties with alleged Chinese spy Yang Tengbo after his 2019 Newsnight interview left his reputation “irrecoverable.”

Ex-aide Dominic Hampshire saw Yang as Andrew’s last chance to restore status through business in China.

The two used a communication channel to President Xi Jinping, including sending birthday letters. MI5 warned against contact, and internal palace tensions grew.

Yang, accused of CCP-linked political interference, allegedly gained Andrew’s deep trust. Buckingham Palace denied royal approval or knowledge of any business relationship with Yang.
