PRINCE Andrew's business dealings must be investigated in light of the Chinese "spy" scandal, says an expert.An appeal hearing found Yang, 50, had been dishonest about his links to the Chinese state and could exploit his relationship with the duke, 64, and other public figures.shows the duke boasted about having been afforded preferential treatment in opening an account with the Bank of China in 2008.
"The fact is, we know nothing about his finances, he operates through frontmen like Dominic Hampshire, the man who’s involved with this Chinese businessman, but he also disguises his identity in companies. "There was meant to be a list of royal gifts, but that hasn’t followed. The ways that Andrew’s paid in gifts..."
Referring to the Chinese case, he said: "What this scandal has done has highlighted the issue of transparency when it comes to members of the Royal Family, because a lot of their finances are secret. "There is no transparency in that. But the other question is do the public actually care how the Royal Family are funded and should they care?"
