The morning news cycle began with Mark Zuckerberg’s testimony regarding platform safety and the first meeting of President Trump’s Peace Council. However, by 10:15 AM, editorial priority shifted abruptly following reports of Prince Andrew’s arrest in the United Kingdom for misconduct in public office. Major outlets including NOS, NRC, and de Volkskrant prioritized the royal scandal throughout the afternoon, highlighting King Charles’s detached response that "justice must take its course." Domestic coverage focused on the cabinet-Jetten's proposed cuts to disability benefits (WIA) and the appointment of Eelco Eerenberg as state secretary to handle fiscal dossiers and the controversial 'Box 3' tax reforms. Retailers such as Bol.com and Zalando also faced scrutiny for privacy violations. The evening was defined by the Milan Winter Olympics, where editors led with Kjeld Nuis winning bronze in his final 1500m race. By late evening, attention returned to the British legal saga as Prince Andrew was released from custody.
