Following the latest incident, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper stated that the government is willing to take action about Prince Andrew's suspected ties to Chinese spy H6.
In reaction to the charges, the Duke of York's administration published its first public comment addressing the situation.
The statement emphasizes that Andrew followed Her Majesty's Government's (HMG) guidance and promptly cut off communication with the individual once concerns were raised.
The Duke's aides highlighted that the two met through official channels and that no sensitive topics were discussed.
However, owing to national security concerns, Andrew is unable to elaborate on the issue.
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has informed the public that the UK's security and intelligence services are on high alert for any possible risks, including as foreign influence and espionage.
Addressing national security concerns, Cooper stressed the government's proactive approach, noting, "Our security and intelligence agencies are constantly on the lookout for any threat to UK national security, whether it is foreign influence, espionage, or another security challenge."
Cooper declined to comment on particular charges, but she made it plain that the government would not hesitate to act if any threats were found.
"We will not hesitate to take action in individual cases or more broadly, wherever any challenge arises," she added, emphasizing that national security is still a key concern.
