Dear Reader,

Prince Philip has been transferred to another hospital by ambulance and he will undergo tests for an underlying heart condition, Buckingham Palace has announced. You can read the latest here.

Anticipation is building for Rishi Sunak’s Budget on Wednesday, only the second of his tenure. The Chancellor said yesterday that he wanted “to level” with the country on the state of the nation’s finances and suggested there would be some pain to come. Many details are known already, and Charles Hymas and Tony Diver have summarised them here.

Now is the perfect time to sign up for our daily Business Briefing newsletter, which you can find here. They'll have a Budget Day special for you on Wednesday.

Also on Wednesday, Nicola Sturgeon will be in front of a Scottish parliamentary committee to face questions over the Alex Salmond scandal. It’s a confusing and long-running debacle, but one that could have major implications for the future of Scotland and the Union. Alan Cochrane has all the details you need to know including the five key questions Ms Sturgeon will need to answer.

Lockdowns are not the easiest circumstances in which to remain trim and they make the prospect of restrictive diets and gruelling exercise regimes all the less appetising. Sam Rice, however, may have the answer. In this article, she explains how to make midlife weight loss a realistic proposition.

Finally, it was another night of British success at the Golden Globes yesterday evening, with The Crown, in particular, supplying multiple English award winners. Among them was Emma Corrin, an unknown before her turn as Princess Diana. Last year, in this fascinating interview, she spoke to Elizabeth Grice about dealing with overnight fame and the parallels between her life and that of the Princess of Wales.
