William's 'hardest year' and King 'key to Trump U-turn'
- Published
A number of the papers lead with the Prince of Wales after he spoke candidly about his "hardest year" in an episode of The Reluctant Traveler With Eugene Levy. The Mirror says Prince William detailed his "anguish" during last year, when both his father and his wife were diagnosed with cancer.
The Express leads on the prince saying "being able to overcome is what makes us who we are". The last 19 months "left an indelible mark" on the royals, the paper quotes him as saying.
The Star also features the interview prominently - along with a not-so-subtle nod to interviewer Levy's role in the sitcom Schitt's Creek.
The Sun is dominated by another royal story, reporting that the recent meeting between the King and Prince Harry was "distinctly formal". There remains "no prospect" of the prince returning to the royal fold, the Sun reports.
The King played a key role in Donald Trump's shift in position on Ukraine, the Telegraph reports. An aide to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's told the paper the King played a "critical role" in persuading Trump that Ukraine could win the war against Russia when the pair met during his recent state visit.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves has has told the Times an "ambitious" migration deal with Europe could alleviate the need for tax rises in the upcoming budget. The chancellor says a youth mobility scheme that allows young Europeans to work in the UK would be "good for the economy, good for growth and good for business".
Sir Keir Starmer has told the Guardian that the Labour party is in "a fight for the soul of the nation", telling the paper that history will not forgive his government if they are unable to stop Reform from taking power. He spoke to the paper as he prepares to address the Labour Party's conference later this week.
The Financial Times leads on developments in Washington, after former FBI director James Comey - who Trump has been strongly critical of - was indicted on two charges. The president told journalists that his administration would launch further prosecutions against "corrupt, radical left Democrats", the FT reports. Comey has maintained his innocence.
The Mail says a "migration catastrophe" is unfolding around the French city of Calais. The paper says the city "increasingly resembles a giant refugee encampment", and that the ferry port has never been "so overwhelmed".
