UK media continued its intense focus on Prince Andrew throughout the day, following his relinquishing of royal titles on the previous day. Morning reports detailed ongoing discussions about his remaining royal perks and calls from Virginia Giuffre's family for further action. By late morning and early afternoon, new claims emerged, alleging that Andrew had insisted on a gag order for Giuffre to protect the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations. The narrative intensified in the evening with explosive revelations, including emails, claiming Andrew actively sought to smear Giuffre by procuring her confidential social security number and involving a Met police officer in the effort. Further claims regarding Jeffrey Epstein allegedly bankrolling Sarah Ferguson also surfaced, drawing the entire royal scandal deeper into the media spotlight. Separately, anti-Trump protests in the US and a potential postponement of English elections were also noted.
