Prince Andrew Flagged as ‘Top Security Threat’ Over Secret Ties with Chinese Spies?

Prince Andrew’s reputation just took another shocking hit — this time, not from the Epstein scandal, but from Britain’s own intelligence community.

Multiple government insiders reportedly told RadarOnline.com that the Duke of York was quietly branded a potential national security risk after forming unusually close connections with figures later accused of working on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party.

Between 2019 and 2021, Andrew met repeatedly with Chinese businessman Yang Tengbo through his now-defunct Pitch@Palace charity, which linked entrepreneurs with investors. Yang, who later faced a travel ban for “covert and deceptive activity” on behalf of Beijing, helped Andrew launch a Chinese branch of his project — and their partnership didn’t go unnoticed.

The two were photographed together in Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, and Beijing, while Andrew also mingled with Cai Qi, one of China’s most powerful Communist Party figures. Intelligence officials reportedly grew “deeply alarmed” when Yang’s phone was seized at the UK border, revealing notes that described Andrew as being in a “desperate situation and willing to grab onto anything.”

“Every alarm bell was ringing,” one intelligence source told Radar. “This wasn’t about criminal activity — it was about vulnerability. When a senior royal keeps meeting people linked to hostile states, that’s a serious problem.”

Yang denied any espionage activity, but when his appeal failed in 2023, judges ruled the association had made Andrew “potentially vulnerable.”

Andrew’s office claimed nothing sensitive was ever discussed and said he cut ties once warned. But insiders say the Prince repeatedly ignored behind-the-scenes warnings — and acted independently despite official concerns.

Sources claim King Charles confronted his younger brother earlier this year, calling the China controversy and ongoing Epstein fallout a “tipping point.” Andrew has since been stripped of his public roles, his knighthood, and several royal honors — though he still legally holds his Duke of York title.

Now, Parliament is reportedly considering legislation that could remove the dukedom entirely, as police continue to investigate separate claims Andrew ordered his bodyguard to dig up dirt on Virginia Giuffre, the woman who accused him of sexual abuse.

A Palace insider described the allegations as “of serious concern” and said they were being “handled appropriately.” But damage control is reportedly in full swing.

“It’s practically unheard of for a royal to be seen as a security threat,” said one former civil servant. “But that’s exactly what happened here — and it’s sent shockwaves through the Palace.”
