Prince Andrew reportedly received preferential treatment from a Chinese state-owned bank, according to a leaked email.
According to the email, the Duke of York, now 64, was allowed to open an account with the Bank of China in 2008 under special circumstances.
The account, believed to be located in China, facilitated the payment of business transactions without being scrutinized by UK authorities, GB News reports.
The revelation has fueled calls for Andrew to fully disclose the extent of his financial and business ties to China.
The allegations follow a recent report about a suspected Chinese spy, Yang Tengbo, who allegedly had close ties to Duke.
Yang, 50, was allegedly aware of Andrew’s methods of bypassing security at his Royal Lodge residence and has since been banned from the UK as a national security risk.
Duke’s dealings with Chinese entities continue to raise questions, increasing scrutiny of his personal and professional associations.
