The Prince of Wales is "one of Britain's top taxpayers largely due to his Duchy of Cornwall earnings", the Sunday Times says on its front page. Prince William has a "£7m income tax bill", according to the paper's investigation, which has found that the "Duchy of Cornwall and Duchy of Lancaster, which is awarded to the monarch, make millions by charging the army, the navy, the NHS and schools to use their land". In other royal news, the Prince and Princess of Wales shared on social media a photo of their daughter Princess Charlotte to mark her 11th birthday. It features on the front pages of multiple Sunday newspapers.
"Burnham wins over Labour's ruling body" is the Sunday Telegraph's headline, reporting that the 10-member National Executive Committee is "no longer prepared to block" the return of Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham to Parliament. The committee voted against Burnham, a former Labour cabinet minister, being nominated as a candidate to run in the Gorton and Denton by-election in February. "The revelation is a major boost to Mr Burnham, as it means one significant hurdle in the way of him challenging the Prime Minister [Sir Keir Starmer] looks likely to be removed," is the paper's take. Separately, the new season of Celebrity Traitors is teased, with the headline "Traitors take your places".
Sir Keir's independent adviser on antisemitism, Lord Mann, "says outlawing peaceful marches would be 'unconscionable'", the Independent writes. It comes after the prime minister suggested curbing some pro-Palestine protests to "combat rising antisemitism", the paper writes, with Lord Mann leading "a chorus of voices against the idea".
"Crowning glory" is the Sunday People's headline depicting King Charles III waving to "well-wishers in Bermuda", which immediately followed his four-day state visit to the US. The paper shows the King and Queen Camilla standing next to US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump during the royal tour.
The Sunday Express also leads with the King's trip to the US, writing he "was ready to help the country he loves" as he "grasped with 'both hands' the chance to help repair the special relationship with the UK".
The Observer leads with Sir David Attenborough ahead of the natural historian's 100th birthday. "A love of life" is the headline, writing: "We listened to David, agreed with him, loved with him. But we haven't done the job he so urgently asked of us." The paper also features an interview with Sir Keir, who argues that Labour cannot descend into infighting. "The last government descended into political infighting and let the country slump back to the old status quo," he writes. "Not this time."
As the next season of Celebrity Traitors looms, the Daily Star splashes "Cloak and Jagger", writing that Mick Jagger's ex-partner Jerry Hall is confirmed to be the reality TV show's latest "headline signing".
"Britain's Got Talent judge KSI has sparked fury over a vile 'joke' about hitting any woman he got pregnant" is the Sun's lead story. The paper also splashes the Celebrity Traitors cast line-up, including Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Miranda Hart and Richard E Grant.
The Mail on Sunday writes that "the BBC has been accused of a scandalous cover-up following claims a presenter broke the wrist of one of his female colleagues in a physical altercation". The paper says the alleged incident is believed to have occurred in 2014 and both of the unnamed staff members have since left the broadcaster. The BBC Press Office has been approached for comment.
