UK intelligence questioned Prince Andrew’s security risk after 2020 meeting with accused Chinese spy Yang Tengbo.

Prince Andrew, 65, was reportedly considered a potential national security risk by UK intelligence agencies due to his 2020 meetings with Yang Tengbo, a Chinese businessman accused of spying for China. Concerns, raised as early as 2021, led to his withdrawal from contact with Yang after a border investigation uncovered suspected hostile activity. Documents found on Yang’s phone included notes for a call with Andrew, suggesting he was seen as vulnerable. The prince denied sharing sensitive information. Buckingham Palace called the claims “of serious and grave concern.” Yang denies espionage. The UK government has not confirmed the reports, and no official action has been taken.
