Kate making 'progress' and King honours Alan Bates

Catherine, Princess of Wales, attending Trooping the Colour

A newly-released photo of the Princess of Wales features on the front pages of the Times, the Mirror, the Sun, the Express and the Mail.

They all quote extensively from her statement in which she says she is making good progress after her cancer diagnosis.

The Sun's editorial praises her "refreshing frankness" and says "it will be great to see you again".

The Mirror says the princess has "given comfort to other people with serious illnesses by being candid about her condition".

The Guardian reports that jockeying to succeed Rishi Sunak has begun within the Conservative party because of fears it is failing to close the gap with Labour ahead of the election. Potential candidates have been sounding out their colleagues, and, the paper says, "lining up their leadership teams".

The former Home Secretary Suella Braverman has given an interview to the Telegraph, in which she says she made suggestions to tackle illegal migration which were blocked by Mr Sunak.

She claims the Tories would be polling 15 points higher if they had cut taxes and migration.

The i features a poll which suggests almost half of Conservative supporters want an alliance with Reform UK.

But the Times carries an interview with the Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron who says the "inflammatory language" and what he calls "dog whistle politics" of Nigel Farage should be rejected. The former prime minister insists the Tories can still win the election.

Rishi Sunak has told the Daily Express he will serve a full term as MP for Richmond and Northallerton - assuming he wins his seat - regardless of the result of the general election.

The i also reports that the Sun and the Times, newspapers owned by Rupert Murdoch, are poised to back Labour at the election - although there is "feverish debate" at the titles.

The i has based its story on Conversations with an insider. It says whilst there is only lukewarm enthusiasm for Labour's policies, the source said "we back winners". The i says that News UK, which runs the Sun and the Times, declined to comment.

The i says three Household Cavalry horses, which were injured after bolting through central London in April, have recovered and will take part in the Trooping the Colour parade. Photographs of the injured horses running through Belgravia were prominently published at the time of the incident.

The Times reports that police in the city of Gelsenkirchen, which hosts England's match against Serbia on Sunday night, are urging fans to smoke cannabis instead of drinking alcohol before the game.

Marijuana was legalised in the country on 1 April, and a raft of measures - including only serving weak beer - have been brought in to reduce the likelihood of violence between fans. "Smoking cannabis puts people in a chill mood," the police spokesman Stephan Knipp is quoted as saying.
