Buckingham Palace was handed emails six years ago that would have shown that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was sharing confidential government information while a trade envoy, according to court documents.

It has emerged that an archive of 30,000 emails, containing information about the former prince’s controversial financial dealings, was given to the Lord Chamberlain, the most senior officer in the Royal Household, in 2020.

The emails had been taken from a personal business contact of the former Prince Andrew.
When asked about what happened to the emails, Buckingham Palace said: “Since there is an ongoing police enquiry concerning Mr Mountbatten-Windsor, it is not possible to provide any comment on these matters.”

Mountbatten-Windsor has rejected any wrongdoing in his associations with Jeffrey Epstein and denied any personal gain from his role as trade envoy.

Israel’s prime minister has ordered attacks on the southern suburbs of Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, as its conflict with the Iran-backed armed group Hezbollah escalates.

Benjamin Netanyahu said “terror targets” in the Hezbollah stronghold of Dahieh would be struck in response to its rocket and drone attacks on Israeli civilians.

Israel’s pledge to step up its strikes in Lebanon came hours after the US president Donald Trump had declared that “all shooting will stop” between Israel and Hezbollah. Trump made the announcement after Iran said it had pulled other of peace talks with the US, in protest at Israel’s offensive in Lebanon

The conflict poses a major obstacle to the US president’s efforts to reach a deal to end its war with Iran. Tehran is insisting that any ceasefire must include Lebanon.

The Israeli military ordered residents of Dahieh to evacuate for their own safety, without giving further details.

Families, crammed into cars stuffed with suitcases, blankets and whatever belongings they could carry, streamed out of Beirut’s suburbs, joining thousands fleeing towards the mountains as fears of further violence mounted.
