Operation London Bridge

-- Couple of interesting things picked up from researching the Queens physician referenced in this article - Sir Huw Jeremy Wyndham Thomas -

Huw is a Welsh first name - a variant of Hugo or Hugh - https://www.babynames.co.uk/names/huw/

Royal Victorian Order is a thing - and has some interesting members - https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Victorian_Order

The Queens doctor doesn't have a traditional MD - he has a Bachelor of Arts - Bachelor of Medicine and a PhD in molecular genetics --

The other comment was downvoted, presumably people thinking it was a joke, but it is called Operation Unicorn too if she's in Scotland

And she is.

Operational code names tend to be secret until after the fact. What's the point of having a code word if everyone knows what it is?

Because then, when they make the movie about this, it would be much easier to sell it to the unsuspecting public. Duh!

Sometimes, a phrase encapsulates all that is to be done. Its utterance, evoking both confirmation and action in one.
