A 50-year-old Chinese national who formed an “unusual degree of trust” with Prince Andrew has lost an appeal over a decision to bar him from entering the UK on national security grounds.

A ruling by the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (SIAC), published on Thursday, said that the man, known only as H6, was in a position to “generate relationships between prominent UK figures and senior Chinese officials” for political interference purposes by the Chinese regime.
