Former Prince Andrew is facing fresh accusations of sharing an official Treasury document with a business contact, according to a report published in the Telegraph. The news comes as the UK and its allies revealed that Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was killed using a poison derived from an Ecuadorian dart frog toxin, while former US President Donald Trump stated that regime change in Iran "would be the best thing that could happen." Additionally, Palmerston, the former chief mouser of the Foreign Office, has died in Bermuda.
The allegations against Prince Andrew involve a 2010 incident where he reportedly requested information from Treasury officials regarding banking problems in Iceland. This briefing was then shared with Jonathan Rowland, a business associate whose father, David Rowland, took over part of a failing Icelandic bank, according to BBC Business. The accusations add to the pressure on the former prince, who has faced previous claims of misusing his public role by providing official information to private associates.
In a separate development, the UK and its allies have stated that Navalny was killed by a toxin derived from the skin of an Ecuadorian dart frog. Sky News reported that the poison, described as a neurotoxin and a chemical weapon, is believed to have been manufactured in a laboratory. Germany's foreign minister stated that victims "suffocate in agony."
Meanwhile, Donald Trump, speaking after visiting troops at Fort Bragg in North Carolina, said that regime change in Iran "would be the best thing that could happen." He made these remarks as a second US aircraft carrier was deployed to the Middle East.
Finally, Palmerston, a rescue cat who served as the chief mouser of the Foreign Office, has died in Bermuda. The cat retired in 2020 after four years of service in Whitehall, according to The Guardian.
