Newspaper headlines: 'Fury at Harry's Taliban claims' and 'Chinese spy fears'

Many of Saturday's papers focus on what the Daily Mirror calls the "outrageous boast" of Prince Harry about having killed 25 Taliban fighters in Afghanistan.

The Mirror says he's been "savaged" by Army heroes for the claim. The Daily Mail says it's unleashed "global fury" and shows "extraordinary recklessness" which Andrew Neil suggests in his column will cause long-term damage from which the prince will likely never recover.

The Sun declares that the stupidity of his remark is "unfathomable."

A former Army colonel, Philip Ingram, questions in The Times whether Harry is in self-destruct mode brought on by post-traumatic stress disorder - something he suffered himself.

The Financial Times suggests the loser from all the revelations will be Brand Windsor, especially in the US. And the Daily Star complains that Prince Harry seems to take responsibility for nothing and offers a cut out "It's not my fault" mask of the duke on its front page.

Friends of the late Queen Elizabeth II have told the Daily Telegraph that what the paper describes as Prince Harry's "ambushing" of the Royal Family harmed the health of the Queen in her final year. There's a suggestion in the Times that the prince had wanted to cancel the book after visiting his grandmother last summer but changed his mind. Although the Palace has remained silent, a source tells the Daily Express that King Charles is keen to build bridges with his son before the Coronation.

The i leads with a report that security officials have found a hidden Chinese tracking device in a UK government car. A serving intelligence officer has told the paper that at least one Sim card capable of transmitting location data was discovered in a sealed part imported from a Chinese supplier. Officials had been dismantling vehicles and sweeping them for bugs. Chinese officials dismissed the claims as "groundless and sheer rumour."

The Guardian raises questions about whether Roman Abramovich set up trusts to avoid the UK sanctions imposed on Russian oligarchs over Moscow's invasion of Ukraine. The paper has seen leaked files that suggest 10 offshore trusts were amended weeks before the war transferring billons of dollars of assets to his children -- one of whom was only nine. The offshore provider said only that the responsibility of a trustee was to protect the assets of a trust.

The Financial Times previews Rishi Sunak's plans to hold talks with trade union leaders on Monday. The FT suggests ministers may find a way to end the six-month long rail strikes by dropping their demand for train drivers rather than guards to operate carriage doors. Meanwhile the Telegraph suggests that teaching unions are planning to co-ordinate their walkouts to maximise the disruption.

The Guardian is one of several papers to report that the Glyndebourne opera company has cancelled its touring programme after the Arts Council England cuts its budget. The artistic director says it will be a blow to hundreds of children, care home residents and students who would have benefited from their recitals.

If you are one of the thousands of people who like to take part or watch a Parkrun on a Saturday morning then, according to The Times it might be worth keeping your eyes peeled for a professional athlete. The 5km fun run appears to have attracted the likes of world champion 1,500m runner Jack Wightman and Olympic champions Sir Mo Farah, Alistair Brownlee and Kelly Holmes.
