Daily Express - No appetite to make peace with Harry

Summary of the front page

The Daily Express claims that Prince Harry’s brief visit to Britain for the coronation will leave no time for him to mend fences with the rest of the Royal Family.

The paper quotes a source as saying the Royal Family “are focused on planning for the historic [King’s coronation] and have no appetite or time at this stage to think about reconciliation” between the monarch and his son the Duke of Sussex. It comes following the news that Prince Harry will fly back to the UK for the coronation – without his wife or their children – which the Express yesterday claimed had brought some “relief” to the King.

Trump kicks off presidency, PM announces public inquiry into Southport killings, Chelsea back in top four

Trump kicks off presidency, PM announces public inquiry into Southport killings, Chelsea back in top four 

Tuesday’s news is dominated by the inauguration of Donald Trump and his first day as the 47th president of the United States. As soon as he returned to office he issued orders including withdrawing the US from the World Health Organization and declaring an emergency regarding the US-Mexico border. Many publications look at what sort of relationship the US and the UK will have over the next four years.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced a public inquiry into the murder of the three little girls at a dance class in Southport last year. Axel Rudakubana pleaded guilty to their murders as well as attempted murder and terror-related charges including making ricin. Many news publications report he had planned to commit the UK’s first school massacre just a week before he murdered the children. Since his guilty plea, it has also been revealed that he was referred to a counter-extremism scheme three times.

The prime minister has said the state failed the victims and an inquiry will be held to understand how this happened.
