The Princess of Wales’ appearance at the Wimbledon women’s singles final dominated the Sunday papers. The Sunday Telegraph leads with a smiling photo of Catherine in the royal box as she received a standing ovation from the crowd. Elsewhere, the paper says a government-backed commission on behalf of the Board of Deputies of British Jews has found that antisemitism is “rife” among the UK’s middle classes.
The Sunday Mirror dubs the princess’s Wimbledon visit an “ace”, spotlighting a photo of Catherine in her white ensemble. In other royal news, the paper features Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh saying she is proud of being called a “royal secret weapon” through her role of helping women in global conflicts.
The Sunday Times features a photo of Catherine congratulating Wimbledon women’s champion Iga Swiatek, who dominated American Amanda Anisimova with a 6-0, 6-0 win. Sharing the front page is the story of a child who died after contracting measles, with the paper reporting experts warning of a decline in vaccine rates against the disease.
A “wave” of support for the princess headlines the Sunday Express’s Wimbledon report. Also dominating the front page is an “exclusive message” from Sir Keir Starmer hitting back at critics who say his migrant deal with France “won’t stop a single boat”. Writing in the paper, the prime minister gives a “full-throttle defence” of his record on stopping illegal immigration.
The Mail on Sunday follows with their royal exclusive of a “secret peace summit” between King Charles’ and the Duke of Sussex’s senior aides. The paper says the meeting is a first step towards restoring the “broken relationship” between Prince Harry and the Royal Family.
The Observer leads with “the battle within” the BBC over its Gaza coverage, saying the broadcaster is “divided” over its reporting on the conflict.
The Sun reports on the arrest of an actor working as an extra on the EastEnders set over an “alleged indecent assault” incident that left other stars “shocked”.
Finally, the Daily Star teases the rise of the “Robo landlord” as it says that artificial intelligence could be used in pubs to handle tasks such as hiring staff and ordering beer from the brewery. Alongside is a photoshopped image of comedian Al Murray as a robot getting ready to pour a pint behind the bar.
