LONDON (Reuters) -- A Chinese businessman, who had forged close links with Prince Andrew and was authorized to act on his behalf to seek investors in China, has been banned from Britain on national security grounds.

The 50-year-old man, who has been granted anonymity and is named only as H6, was taken off a flight from Beijing to London in February 2023 and told that Britain intended to ban him from the country. This happened the following month.
