The scandal surrounding an alleged Chinese spy who managed to gain access to Buckingham Palace as a “close confidant” of Prince Andrew, the younger brother of King Charles III, intensified on Sunday as it emerged that he also met former prime ministers David Cameron and Theresa May.
While Cameron and May distanced themselves from any knowledge of his espionage links, the row involving the businessman, known only as “H6” for legal reasons, continues to dominate the headlines after a tribunal judge noted that he had an “unusual” degree of trust from the senior royal.
Earlier, Andrew, the Duke of York, said in a statement that he had “ceased all contact” with the alleged spy
“David Cameron was leader of the Conservative Party for over a decade and PM for six years. He met thousands of people during that time at hundreds of functions and events. We don’t have any further information about this individual,” a source close to Cameron, now Lord Cameron, was quoted as saying by ‘Sky News’
