UK media maintained its intense focus on Prince Andrew, with multiple outlets reporting in the morning that the Met Police were investigating claims he asked personal protection officers to dig up dirt on Jeffrey Epstein abuse victim Virginia Giuffre. This followed previous days' reports of his relinquishment of royal titles and alleged smear campaign against Giuffre.
Later in the day, attention broadened to include the "priceless" Napoleonic jewels stolen from the Louvre in Paris, with several sources detailing the audacious heist. Concurrently, reports emerged on Israel's air strikes in southern Gaza and aid suspension, with both the IDF and Hamas accusing each other of ceasefire violations. By evening, Israel affirmed its commitment to the ceasefire despite the earlier strikes.
