Chinese Spy Scandal Rocks Royal Family

Prince Andrew's business documents appear to have now "vanished," according to royal biographer Andrew Lownie.

"This stuff has vanished. The Foreign Office claimed not to know anything about it. The Department of Business and Trade knows nothing. I've put in, I think, probably over 100 requests now, and I'm still really not much further forward."

"I asked for specific trips that he made on specific times. I asked for general papers about particular departments. Each time, it's either too wide, and therefore there's a cost compliance element, or it's too narrow, and they have no information. And so we're playing the semantics the whole time; it's like playing whack-a-mole."

Prince Andrew is at the heart of another embarrassing scandal for the Royal Family.
