On my iPhone’s Mail, I get the message, “Your network settings prevent content from loading privately. Load Content” If I click load content the pictures will load. This just started happening yesterday and I don’t know why it would have started to do it. It is ONLY on my iPhone; not my iPad or desktop Mac..
iPhone XS
So I turned off Protect Mail Activity as well as had to turn off Hide IP Address and Block All Remote Content and now the images will load.
My follow up question is why did this start happening yesterday? I didn’t change anything in my iPhone’s settings.
Please refer to Use Mail Privacy Protection on iPhone, for an explanation. Choose the option which is best for your circumstances.

I have no idea of why, but the anomaly seems to be prevalent in recent days. I suggest providing Feedback - iPhone.
I am having the same exact problem. It started this morning just on my iPhone. My iPad is fine. It is driving me crazy. LOL
This setting was not changed between yesterday and today so I am not sure why this is happening today. I also have the same privacy setting on my iPad and this is not happening on that.
I have also noticed that the behavior changed recently and isn’t consistent between iOS devices and macOS.
