Browsing: Prince Harry

Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, KCVO, ADC, is a member of the British royal family. As the younger son of Charles, Prince of Wales, and Diana, Princess of Wales, he is currently sixth in the line of succession to the British throne.

He is no longer a serving member of the Royal Family and currently lives in California with his wife Meghan Markle and two children – Archie and Lili.

Friday’s UK headlines cover a variety of domestic and international stories. There is, of course, continued coverage of the fallout from the Trump tariff debacle amid claims of market manipulation and calls for an investigation into potential insider trading.

Royal news continues to be highlighted on the front pages – in print and online – with Prince Harry making a surprise visit to Ukraine and Prince William talking football after Villa’s 3-1 loss. Charles and Camilla are pictured on several tabloids after marking their 20th wedding anniversary with a state visit to Italy, where the pair exercised their soft power in a bid to rebuild relations with the rest of Europe. 

The UK is set for another sunny day with temperatures reaching over 23C in some parts – and in Scotland, there are warnings of potential wildfires. 

Prince Harry back in Britain for two-day court case as the sixth in line to the throne argues he cannot return home – or bring his wife and children to the UK until they have been granted better security. 

The tabloids don’t have much sympathy for Harry’s cause, instead highlighting the fact his father flew out to Italy without seeing him, noting the strained relationship Harry has with his family – or trashing his wife’s latest business venture, a new podcast. 

Tuesday’s headlines continue to be dominated by the ongoing chaos caused by Donald Trump’s tariffs, especially since the US president announced that if China doesn’t retract its retaliatory tariffs, the US will impose a further 50% tariff on China – on top of the initial tariff slapped on the country. China has hinted that if Trump goes ahead with more tariffs on China, it will respond with even more tariffs, and it won’t back down. 

Much of the coverage looks at the global stock markets and their reaction. Almost $6 trillion has been wiped off the markets since the tariffs were announced last week. On Monday, the FTSE, Wall Street and the Asia-Pacific suffered heavy losses, with the S&P 500 set to enter a bear market after a 20% fall since December. The chaos has economists predicting a global recession. 

The UK stock markets are predicted to open about 2% higher today after a more positive performance from Asian markets. European and UK shares are expected to see a rebound when trading starts at 08:00 BST this morning. 

Elsewhere, a British woman gave birth to a healthy baby girl after having a womb transplant – a first for UK medicine that could benefit thousands of others.

The King and Queen have arrived in Italy for a state visit where they will meet with the Italian president and prime minister, and Charles will deliver a speech to both houses of Italy’s parliament. Prince Harry is also back in the headlines as the royal returns to Britain for a two-day court case regarding his security. 

Several newspapers lead with the latest from Prince Harry’s ongoing charity row. The Charity Commission has said it will launch a probe into Harry’s charity Sentebale following claims made by its head, Sophie Chandauka. 

The prince, who started the charity more than 20 years ago, has said he hopes the watchdog will “unveil the truth” after the head accused the prince of bullying and harassment, amongst other claims about the charity itself.

Prince Harry has been accused of bullying and harassment by the chairperson of the charity Sentebale, which Harry co-founded. Dr Sophie Chandauka gave an interview over the weekend where she said since Harry’s Netflix deal interfered with a planned Sentebale fundraiser and an incident with Harry’s wife Meghan became a source of friction. Chandauka says Harry – and the board who all resigned – are trying to force her out.

The global stock markets have reacted to Trump’s comments over the weekend as he is set to announce a raft of new tariffs that will affect every country. Asian markets have fallen, and European markets opened down.


Expect much of this week’s news to be dominated by the US President as his new tariffs are set to hit this Wednesday, he’s announced he might consider a third term as president (despite US law only allowing for two) and he’s told Russian president Putin he has to agree to a ceasefire in a month or face more tariffs.

Monday’s headlines reflect a variety of domestic and international stories, with Prince Harry’s charity scandal and the latest from Donald Trump’s administration dominating many news sites and newspapers. 

There is, of course, widespread coverage of the devastation across Myanmar as the United Nations appeals for more aid and the death toll tops 1,700. 

The sports papers cover the weekend’s FA Cup action, teenager Jakrub Mensik winning the Miami Open and West Ham WFC drawing with WSL leaders Chelsea.

Prince Harry has settled his case with the owner of the Sun newspaper – News Group Newspapers (NGM). Harry reportedly received a £10+ million payout as well as an apology. The Murdoch-owned tabloid admitted it engaged in illegal practices to source stories about him.

The Southport killer is set to be sentenced today after pleading guilty to three counts of murder and terrorism charges – including making ricin. The 18-year-old is expected to receive a life sentence. An inquiry into the case began after it was revealed authorities already knew about Axel Rudakubana and he had been referred (but denied) to the government’s Prevent scheme – aimed at stopping people from becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism.

Leo Ross, 12, was stabbed to death on his way home from school in Birmingham yesterday. The country reacts to the news – amid fears of a growing knife crime crisis. A 14-year-old boy has been arrested.

Storm Éowyn is heading towards the UK with rare weather warnings being issued for Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland on Friday.

Thursday’s headlines make for interesting reading. Only four national newspapers lead with the publisher of The Sun, News Group Newspapers (NGM), apology and payout to Prince Harry. It’s little surprise The Sun newspaper itself doesn’t acknowledge the news until page six.

Harry’s lawsuit against NGN is a huge victory with the Murdoch-owned tabloid admitting it engaged in illegal practices to source stories about him.

Of the four newspapers that lead with the story, The Guardian, The i and The Independent note the historical nature of the win, which saw NGN do something they rarely do – apologise. The Daily Telegraph unsurprisingly has a different take. The paper calls it a ‘climb down’ from Harry and lightly suggests he was seeking a bigger payout than what his brother received, questioning why he had all of a sudden struck a deal rather than complete his quest of holding the tabloids to account.

Away from Harry, there is a mixture of mostly domestic news including reports the Royal Navy spotted a Russian “spy ship” in UK waters, various reports of illegal immigrants, ISIS and “fears” over UK security. Several papers also report on the UK economy.

A 12-year-old boy is pictured on many front pages after he was stabbed to death on his way home from school. A 14-year-old boy has been arrested.

The back pages lead with last night’s Champions League matches – and how the English clubs fared. Man City threw away a 2-0 lead to lose 4-2 to PSG. Arsenal won their match, all but securing a place in the knockouts.
