The British media reports that Prince Andrew has canceled his pre-Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace due to the Chinese surveillance issue.
After consulting with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, the King’s younger brother has decided not to join the Royal Family, according to the Daily Mail.
Following reports that the British government believed a close Chinese business friend of King Charles’ scandal-plagued younger brother to be a Chinese spy, Andrew is under heavy media scrutiny on Saturday.
The businessman, identified only as H6, was banned from Britain on national security grounds, according to a court order on Thursday. The authorities feared that he was secretly working for Beijing to establish close links with influential British people.
