Royal stories also make the front pages, the Sunday People reporting on a US lawyer calling on the King to urge his brother the Duke of York to provide more details on his relationship with the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

The Sunday Express says republicanism is waning in Australia and that the country will not “ditch” the monarchy due to the popularity of the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Poorer families receive less compensation for maternity care failings, according to The Independent.
