A SUSPECTED Chinese spy was on a charity trip with Princess Beatrice.
David Taylor, 39, was held with two men on Wednesday accused of assisting a foreign intelligence service.
A 2016 picture shows Mr Taylor on a charity visit with the Franks Family Foundation, of which Beatrice is patron.
Both accompanied doctors across Nepal, India and Bhutan.
Charity founder Simon Franks said Beatrice “did not know him prior and has not seen him since”.
He added: “As a policy advisor to the foundation, I found David to be a kind, charitable and proud Brit.
“I am astonished by the arrest.”
Mr Taylor is wed to MP Joani Reid who resigned the Labour whip on Thursday night over the scandal.
Steve Jones, 68, and Matthew Aplin, 43, were also arrested on Wednesday.
All three men have been bailed until May.
