Archie and Lilibet not given Prince and Princess title – but King promises imminent update
Daily Express says PRINCE HARRY and Meghan Markle’s children, Archie, three, and Lilibet, one, have not been given the titles of Prince and Princess yet – but an update is pending.
The two young children are due to receive the titles of Prince and Princess as all Royal Family members move one step up in the line of succession following the Queen’s passing. On the royal website, the tiles of other senior royals such as Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge have already changed to reflect their new titles. William inherits his father’s title and becomes Prince of Wales, and Kate is now Princess of Wales accordingly, becoming the first to be known as such after Princess Diana.
‘Easy solution’ Biden to consider keeping Donald Trump from attending Queen funeral
Daily Express says JOE Biden could decide not to include Donald Trump in the US delegation heading to the UK to attend the Queen’s state funeral next week, CNN anchor Jack Tapper suggested.

CNN anchor Jack Tapper suggested Mr Biden could choose not to issue an invite to Donald Trump but noted it would be a “clever move” to give the 45th President the chance to join in.
Ouch! Angela Rayner grimaces in pain after SNP’s Blackford steps on her foot – VIDEO
Daily Express says ANGELA Rayner could be seen grimacing after the SNP’s Westminster leader accidentally stepped on her foot as he backed away from signing King Charles III’s official proclamation.
Angela Rayner and Ian Blackford both attended the meeting of the Accession Council officially recognising Charles III as the rightful successor of the late Queen. The pair, who are both members of the Privy Council by virtue of their party positions, lined up to countersign the proclamation document to attest the new king had undergone the oath process as witnesses. But as Mr Blackford backed away from the table on which the document was laid to be signed, he accidentally stepped on Ms Rayner.
