ROYAL CONTROVERSY: Court Documents Show Witness Links King Charles to Prince Andrew’s Chinese Spy Scandal
For months, media organizations in the UK have been fighting in court for the release of all documents in the immigration case that expelled suspected Chinese Spy Yang Tengbo from the Kingdom.
And the released documents show, for the first time, that King Charles has also been dragged into the Duke of York’s espionage scandal.
The Telegraph reported:
“A witness statement provided to an immigration tribunal by Dominic Hampshire, a senior adviser to Prince Andrew, claims that the King was aware of an investment fund in which Yang Tengbo, an alleged spy, was directly involved.
Mr. Hampshire states that he and the Duke were twice smuggled into Windsor Castle for clandestine meetings with the King during which the Eurasia Fund was discussed.”
The Eurasia fund was formed to tap into Chinese investment for ‘renewable energy projects’ in Africa.
It was designed to provide an income for the Duke following his public disgrace, but in the end, Yang ended up banned from the UK on national security grounds.
The witness statement has Hampshire saying: “I have had two meetings with The Duke and His Majesty to discuss what The Duke can do moving forwards in a way that is acceptable to His Majesty. It is also of note that, amongst other topics, the Eurasia Fund and Aidan Heavey were discussed on both occasions with His Majesty. (For both these meetings with His Majesty, despite less media interest in The Duke, we took all precautions to get in and out of Windsor Castle without being seen.)”
At no point, says Prince Andrew’s aide, did anyone in the Royal household suggest they sever ties with Yang or the fund – even after Yang’s arrest.
Security services officials eventually told him there was a concern about Yang’s level of influence and the Eurasia Fund was cited.
“Mr. Hampshire tried to block the release of his statement because it contained ‘embarrassing’ and ‘indiscreet’ information which he said was private and ‘commercially sensitive’.
However, the Special Immigration Appeals Commission approved an application by publications including The Telegraph for a secrecy order preventing the release of the statement and other documents to be lifted in the public interest.
[…] The Home Office banned Yang from the UK after MI5 deemed him to be an agent who had engaged in ‘covert and deceptive activity’ on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party and who posed a threat to national security.”
