Several newspaper headlines report on Virginia Giuffre, the woman who accused Jeffery Epstein of sex trafficking her to Prince Andrew when she was a teenager. Giuffre said via her Instagram that she is in hospital following a serious car accident and only has four days to live. Her spokesperson said she is receiving medical care after a “serious accident” whilst Western Australia police and ambulance services said their records show a “minor crash” between a bus and a car on 24 March, but that no injuries had been reported as a result. 

In 2022, Ms Giuffre reached an out-of-court settlement with the Duke of York over a civil sexual abuse claim filed in the US. She accused Prince Andrew of allegedly sexually assaulting her when she was 17 years old. Ms Guiffre had claimed the abuse took place while she was travelling with Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted financier and Andrew’s former friend.

There is widespread coverage of France’s far-right leader Marine Le Pen’s political career after she was found guilty of embezzling EU funds and banned from running for public office for 5 years. It means her hopes of running in the 2027 election – in which she was considered one of the favourites – are now in tatters. 

Tuesday’s UK headlines are dominated by international stories with a sprinkling of domestic politics and royal stories. 

France’s far-right leader Marine Le Pen has expressed her outrage at being banned from running for public office for five years after being found guilty by a French court of embezzling EU funds. The UK media are assessing what this means for France’s far-right, noting that it’s unlikely to stop the rise, and questions linger from the public figures, including Elon Musk, over how much the outcome was politically motivated.

Tariffs dominate much of the global news today, ahead of Wednesday’s ‘liberation day’ (according to Donald Trump). US tariffs are set to hit every nation tomorrow; the stock markets are in panic, and Britain failed to secure a trade deal before the tariffs.

Prince Harry and Prince Andrew are in the news as Harry’s charity row rumbles on and Andrew’s accuser has been involved in a serious car accident and says she has four days to live.

From 1 April, households will experience significant increases in council tax, utilities, and communication costs, impacting nearly everyone in the country.

The UK government had been holding out hope for a “UK-US economic prosperity deal” that would protect British exports from the tariffs

The US President suggested his next round of tariff announcements, expected on Wednesday, will hit all countries, rather than just those who sell more goods to the US than they buy. 

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.

Donald Trump’s recent interviews in which he expressed he might seek a third term as president, despite US law limiting presidents to two terms in office, is dominating news everywhere – not just the United States. 


His plans have been met with widespread criticism and fears that democracy is crumbling in the United States.

Stock markets in Asia and Europe have declined sharply as the 2 April implementation of US tariffs on imports approaches, with Japan’s Nikkei index dropping nearly 4% and the UK’s FTSE 100 reaching a two-week low.

Much of Monday’s headlines – in print and online – is dominated by the latest happenings in the Trump administration. As it has been since he took office, there are multiple stories about the US president, his team and what they are doing every day. 

One of the Trump-focused stories today looks at the president issuing a threat of more tariffs if Moscow does not agree to a peace deal in a month.

There’s coverage of the fallout from the resignation of Prince Harry from Sentebale, the charity he co-founded. The charity’s chair, Dr Sophie Chandauka, gave interviews over the weekend and accused Harry of bullying and harassment and says he unleashed the “Sussex machine” on her. 

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.
