Prince Andrew and his pal, the Chinese spy – 21 seriously funny tweets about the Royal Family’s most dim son

Prince Andrew is back in the news, further covering himself and his family in glory, this time because of his “close friendship” with a businessman who has been accused of being a Chinese spy.

Prince Andrew says he ceased all contact with alleged Chinese spy after advice from government and nothing sensitive was discussed https://t.co/IYiCItuY3X

This Andrew guy, eh! Of course, it’s not the first time that the non-working Royal and brother of King Charles has shown, erm, lapses in judgement.

Naturally, amid all the usual national security concerns, people took the opportunity to take the piss. Here are some of the best reactions to the Andrew-spy story.

Journalist has just said "Prince Andrew doesn't possess any intelligence useful to the Chinese." He should have ended that sentence at 'intelligence'.

A Chinese spy with close ties to Prince Andrew has been banned from the UK. “I am obviously very embarrassed by my connection to such a disreputable character” said the Chinese spy.
