The Papers: 'Andrew cashed in' and 'Kate shares in mum's joy'
Report reveals Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's 'rent deals' and the Princess of Wales celebrating a mum ending cancer treatment lead Friday's papers.
The Daily Telegraph says that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor "cashed in with secret rent deals" by letting out three cottages on the Royal Lodge estate he leases in Windsor, while he was paying only a peppercorn rent.
The Daily Mail leads with another aspect of a report from the National Audit Office, which shows that Andrew's daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, have lived at palaces rent-free for years. It says they perform no royal duties and have been subsidised for years by their uncle King Charles III and previously their grandmother Queen Elizabeth II.
Many of the papers illustrate their coverage with an image of Andrew with a facial bruise, which the Times says is thought to be due to a non-serious medical condition. The Sun says: "What a bloody cheek!"
The Times says Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham has "fired the starting gun on his attempt to replace [Prime Minister] Sir Keir Starmer", as he confirmed on the BBC's Question Time that he would join a Labour leadership race. In an interview with the Guardian, he said Labour should be a broad church, with more ministers from the left of the party and signalled there would not be a snap election if he became prime minister.

The Daily Mirror says Sir Keir was profoundly humbled to meet the family of murdered teenager Henry Nowak, contrasting this with his criticism of X owner Elon Musk, who he accused of "trying to whip up division". Writing in the Sun, Julia Hartley-Brewer says the prime minister's "attempts to shut down debate and to police people's words and feelings will only create more division, hatred and tension".
the Times reports that students have said a Pearson Edexcel Maths A-level paper was so difficult it was like "crawling from the tenth circle of hell". A petition suggesting grade boundaries should be adjusted to ensure fairness has gathered more than 16,000 signatures. The exam board said that if a paper is found to be more difficult than previous years, grade boundaries can be set to reflect that.
The Metro considers the ban on football fans taking reusable water bottles into stadiums at the World Cup. The paper calls the decision a "last minute money-grab", suggesting that Fifa bosses are "sucking fans dry." Fifa said the move will lower the risk of injury caused by fans throwing missiles, and has promised not to charge above usual venue prices for water bottles in the stadium.
