An alleged Chinese spy who a judge ruled had formed an "unusual degree of trust" with the Duke of York has been named as Yang Tengbo. He was previously known only as H6 due to an anonymity order protecting his identity, but a High Court judge ruled on Monday that he could be named.

The alleged spy is considered to have engaged in "covert and deceptive activity" on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

Alleged Chinese spy Yang Tengbo has been named following a High Court hearing on Monday. He formed a close relationship with the Duke of York and other political figures
