Following his feud with Prince Charles over the Royal Lodge in Windsor, Prince Andreu may be embroiled in yet another controversy. According to several reports, an advisor to Prince Andreu has been expelled from the UK amid allegations that he is a “spy.”

As reported by the BBC, the man, referred to in the documents as “H6,” lost his appeal to the Special Immigration Appeals Board on his right to enter the UK.
