Newspaper headlines: William 'not calm, buy carrying on' amid Andrew arrest

The recent arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor continues to dominate headlines, with significant attention on the response of his family, particularly Prince William. At the Bafta awards held on Sunday, the Prince of Wales was asked about his reaction to the situation and the film *Hamnet*. He admitted, “I need to be in quite a calm state and I am not at the moment – I will save it.” Despite his personal turmoil, Prince William and Catherine, the Princess of Wales, made their first public appearance since the arrest, signaling a resolve to move forward and keep the Royal Family’s public duties on course.

Media coverage reflects a consistent theme regarding Prince William’s demeanor in the wake of the scandal. The Daily Mirror quotes the prince as stating, “I need to calm down,” highlighting his efforts to regain composure while “making plans to restore public trust in the monarchy.” Similarly, the Sun presents a message of resilience with the caption, “Not calm, but he’s carrying on,” acknowledging the strain but also his determination to continue. In contrast, the Daily Star paints a more dramatic picture, describing the Royal Family’s current predicament as a “crisis,” intensified by ongoing police investigations and attempts to access files at Buckingham Palace.

The inquiry into Prince Andrew’s connections with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein remains a core focus for both authorities and the press. Reports indicate that the King has instructed his staff to provide the police with access to his own files as part of the investigation, according to the Metro. Andrew has consistently denied any misconduct. Further revelations from the Daily Telegraph detail how Epstein had hidden computers and photographs in secret storage units across the United States. Documents reveal efforts by Epstein to have private detectives remove equipment from his Florida residence, apparently to hinder investigative efforts.

Beyond the royal scandal, other notable news stories made front-page headlines.
