The Times front page is headlined with "Andrew's Chinese 'spy' confidant met two former prime ministers".

The papers lead on a variety of stories. Prince Andrew’s links to an alleged Chinese spy has made the front page of The Times for three days consecutively, and Sunday’s paper has photos showing the suspect met former prime ministers Lord David Cameron and Baroness Theresa May – “fuelling concerns” about how deeply he was able to infiltrate the British establishment. It also carries a story about the “hidden archive” of atrocities carried out during Bashar al Assad’s tenure as president. A war crimes investigator and a team of Syrians risked their lives to amass more than a million documents of evidence, the paper says.

The front page of the Sunday Telegraph. The headline reads "Chinese Influencer at the heart of Whitehall".

Following the Prince Andrew Chinese Spy story, the Sunday Telegraph reports that an interpreter who worked for the Foreign Office for decades ran a website connected to a global network pushing the Chinese Communist Party agenda. Microsoft flagged the website in 2023, along with 50 others, alleging that it forms part of a “veiled global network of CCP news websites,” the paper says.

The front page of the Observer. The headline reads "PM condemned for allowing a 'new wave of slum housing'". A photo of a Syrian teenager, dressed in grey sweatshirt and army camo jacket is pictured, relating to a story about chemical weapons used under Assad's regime in 2018.

Labour has been accused of allowing developers to start a new generation of “slum” homes over proposed plans to refit offices into flats – without planning permission, The Observer writes. The paper has spoken to a policy director at the Town and Country Planning Association, who calls the policy “shameful” and “Dickensian”. A photo of a Syrian teenager, who witnessed chemical weapons being used on the outskirts of Damascus, is also on the front page.

The Sunday Express front page with a lead story concerning Brexit.

The Sunday Express quotes Boris Johnson saying the government “must be stopped” from “reshackling” the country to Brussels, as he warns that Sir Keir Starmer poses a threat to Brexit. He says entering an Indo-Pacific partnership with countries including Japan, Malaysia and Singapore will “restore Britain to its rightful place on the global stage”.

The front page of the Sunday Mirror which reads "Hidden Scandal of Homeless Women".

More than 1,000 women have been found to be homeless by charity workers, almost double the number reported by government figures, according to the Sunday Mirror, which has launched an investigation on the “hidden scandal”.

The front page of the Daily Star, headlined with "A Room with a Wooo", reflecting a story about a haunted house on the set of BBC One's Homes Under the Hammer.
