Sunday’s front pages are made up of a variety of domestic and international news. Lucy Letby and AI fears are amongst the most popular stories on the front pages, as are the latest developments with Prince Andrew and his connection to an alleged spy – as well as new revelations about his friendship with Jeffery Epstein.

On the international front, several papers lead with images of Israeli hostages being freed as well as the plane crash in the United States.

The front pages also leave room to report on Ireland v England in last night’s Six Nations, coverage which is continued on the back pages. But the back pages are mostly dominated by football news, with reports Marcus Rashford is set to go on loan to Aston Villa.
