Apr 29 2026

Boldly, the headline states: “Royal Visit Goes Ahead Despite Shooting.”

Accompanying this text is an illustration of Trump engaging with the British monarch, complete with a speech bubble where Trump quips, “I had a narrow escape from a madman.”

In a witty retort, Charles responds, “Lucky you.”

For years, Private Eye has utilized its covers to lampoon Trump and his administration. The magazine recently highlighted Vice President JD Vance’s unsuccessful attempts to influence the Hungarian election and criticized the president’s aggressive stance on Iran.
