Several of Monday’s front pages cover the fallout from the resignation of the Duke of Sussex from Sentebale, the charity he co-founded in honour of his late mother. The organisation’s chair, Dr Sophie Chandauka, said Harry had “wrecked” a fundraising event by announcing he would bring a Netflix TV crew with him, the Mirror reports.
The Daily Mail also leads on comments from Dr Chandauka’s “explosive interview”. She said the duke had tried to make her “defend Meghan publicly” after an “embarrassing polo match spat”, the Mail says.
The Metro says Dr Chandauka said that donors had stopped supporting the charity because of the “toxicity” of the prince’s “brand”.
The Guardian says the Sentebale chair “hits back” with a claim the duke was “bullying at scale”. For its lead story, the paper looks at US President Donald Trump’s “outburst at Putin” for his approach towards a ceasefire in Ukraine. Trump has threatened to levy secondary tariffs on “all the oil coming out of Russia” if Moscow does not agree a peace deal in a month, the paper reports.
Trump’s threat of tariffs over Russian oil leads the Financial Times, with the paper reporting that Trump is “pissed off” with Putin for prolonging ceasefire talks. Its front page also features a striking photo of a Buddhist monk standing in the wreckage of a pagoda that collapsed during Myanmar’s deadly earthquake on Friday.
The prime minister will announce new “anti-terror tactics” to stop people smugglers at a migration summit on Monday, the Times reports. The UK will pay foreign prosecutors to “hunt down” people smugglers around the world under the new plans, the paper reports.
The i Paper reports on Sir Keir Starmer’s reaction to Trump’s 25% tariffs on imported cars, steel and aluminium. The prime minister has warned Trump not to start a trade war, the paper says (writing before the two leaders’ phone call on Sunday).
A “fresh two-tier justice row” is under way, according to the Daily Telegraph, which says Ministry of Justice guidelines currently tell judges to “prioritise” ethnic minority offenders when considering bail.
Households could be “£1,100 worse off” in April thanks to a “bills surge”, the Daily Express reports. Its story is based on a warning from shadow chancellor Mel Stride, who says the cost of living will “rise yet again” on Tuesday, according to the paper.
In what is quite literally a lighter story, the Daily Star says two weeks of sunshine are on the way thanks to hot air coming in from the Mediterranean. “Med for it” is its headline, alongside a depiction of a dog wearing sunglasses, holding an ice cream cone, stood beside a sandcastle flying a union jack.
