Daily Star on Sunday
Prince Andrew insisted his accuser, Virginia Giuffre, sign a gag order to prevent her allegations from affecting the late Queen’s platinum jubilee, writes the Daily Star on Sunday.
The details have been made in a posthumous memoir by Ms Giuffre, who claimed she was trafficked for sex to Prince Andrew by convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, due to be released within days.
Sunday Express
The government plans to release sex offenders from prison early, according to the Sunday Express.
The newspaper says Labour’s sentencing reforms could involve around 2,000 paedophiles being freed after serving a third of their jail term.
The figures were compiled by shadow justice minister Kieran Mullan. The Ministry of Justice told the paper that the planned reforms will not affect the most serious offenders.
The Observer
The Observer quotes the broadcaster Emily Maitlis responding to her infamous 2019 interview with Prince Andrew.
As part of that in-depth conversation, Andrew told Maitlis he had cut all links with Jeffrey Epstein in December 2010.
But an email emerged last week, apparently from February 2011, in which Andrew told Epstein “we are in this together”.
Maitlis is quoted in the newspaper saying that Andrew “lied to me about his contact with Epstein”.
The Sun on Sunday
Prince Andrew cancelled a party for his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, because of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, writes The Sun on Sunday.
It claims the former Duchess of York was due to have a “lavish bash” in Windsor to celebrate turning 66.
Sunday Mirror
Prince Andrew is pictured with the late Virginia Giuffre on the front of the Sunday Mirror.
The newspaper speculates that the accusations of sexual assault against Andrew, which feature in a posthumous book from Ms Guiffre, were the “final straw” for the King.
The prince announced he was giving up his royal titles on Friday after consultation with his brother. But he has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
