BBC News | Palace handed Andrew's controversial envoy emails six years ago

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Buckingham Palace received an archive of about 30,000 emails in 2020 that documented Prince Andrew’s sharing of confidential government briefings while he was a trade envoy, including messages about Icelandic‑bank matters passed to businessman Jonathan Rowland. The archive, taken from Rowland’s account during a separate legal dispute and handed to the Lord Chamberlain, was noted in High Court rulings from 2021‑2022, predating the current police investigation into Andrew for alleged misconduct in public office. The emails reveal his financial links with the Rowlands and Banque Havilland, a bank later sanctioned, and show his promotion of their ventures in the wake of the Epstein scandal.

This is the second part of my review of The stress of battle: quantifying human performance in combat by David Rowland, which is an essential piece of Operational Research on WW2 and Cold War combat operations. For this part I thought that I would focus on the lessons on urban battles. Rowland and his team used historical analysis on lots of WW2 urban battles and then compared this to a series of field trials using laser attachments to small arms and tank main armaments in the late 1970s and early 1980s.  The approach was to find battles where single variables could be controlled, and then use them to work out what the effect of that variable was on outcomes. Here’s an interesting table on how attacker casualties vary by odds and the density of defending machine guns. Interestingly, in successful assaults the […]
