Today, we look at the naming of the alleged Chinese spy with links to Prince Andrew.

Sources have told the 大象传媒 that Prince Andrew will not be at Sandringham with the rest of the Royal Family for Christmas this year after the alleged spy was named as businessman Yang Tengbo. Mr Yang has responded in a statement saying it was 鈥渆ntirely untrue鈥� that he was a spy.

Prince Andrew previously said in a statement that he had "ceased all contact" with the Chinese businessman, with all meetings having been "through official channels" and "nothing of a sensitive nature ever discussed".
