The man, Yang Tengbo, was identified after a judge ruled his anonymity should be removed, PA Media reported on Monday. Yang, who also went by the name Chris Yang, was described in a separate court hearing last week as developing an “unusual degree of trust” with the younger brother of King Charles. He was the co-founder of Pitch@Palace China, which expanded into China an initiative for entrepreneurs that was set up by Andrew in 2014.
In a tribunal hearing on Thursday that upheld an earlier decision to bar Yang from the UK, it was revealed that he was authorized to act on Andrew’s behalf during business meetings with potential Chinese investors in the UK, and that he was invited to Andrew’s 60th birthday party in 2020.
