The alleged spy, Yang Tengbo, was banned from the UK by MI5 last week due to the potential security threat. He had been under an anonymity order known only as ‘H6’ until he revealed his name publicly to deny the allegations against him.
Prince Andrew has now reportedly declined to spend Christmas with the rest of the Royal Family this year – but a spokeswoman for Buckingham Palace declined to comment to Metro.
