Secret papers reveal new details about Andrew’s ties to Chinese ‘spy’
Prince Andrew’s involvement with an alleged Chinese spy came at a time his chief aide and other royals believed his reputation was “irrecoverable”.
Previously secret documents detail how ex-advisor Dominic Hampshire saw Yang Tengbo as Andrew’s “only light at the end of the tunnel” after his Newsnight interview in 2019.
The documents also reveal details of Andrew’s “communication channel” with China’s President Xi Jinping – including sending an annual birthday letter – and how MI5 intervened to block contact between Andrew and the alleged spy.
The documents were disclosed after the BBC and other media outlets pushed for them to be released by the courts.
Mr Yang has denied all wrongdoing.
