Browsing: British Royal Family

Monday’s front pages feature a variety of domestic and international stories. Several papers report on Prince Andrew and the alleged Chinese spy who befriended him. The papers report that MPs – and the public – want the alleged spy to be named. 

The papers further call on the Duke to stay away from royal events this Christmas and to keep out of the public’s sight, as anger mounts over the latest scandal involving the royal. 

Domestic politics also makes up the news stories. Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch continues her criticism of Labour’s farming tax plans, health secretary Wes Streeting backs a campaign calling for a ban on ‘cowboy surgeries’ and the Tories fear elderly people will be ‘left in the cold’ this winter. 

In sports news, space is left on the front pages to report on the new Match of the Day hosts. The back pages lead with Manchester United’s 2-1 win over City in yesterday’s Premier League match.

The Australian Senate has formally censured Aboriginal Senator Lidia Thorpe for heckling King Charles during his visit to Canberra last month. Thorpe shouted, “You are not my King” and “This is not your land” after the King addressed the Great Hall of Parliament, aiming to spotlight the effects of British colonisation on Indigenous Australians.  

Much of Sunday’s front page coverage is dedicated to the Princess of Wales, who made a public appearance yesterday, following her cancer battle this year.

The tabloids lead with the story, whilst the broadsheets feature images of the princess on their front splashes.

After days of heavy US political coverage, domestic politics finds itself back on the front pages.
