Front pages of British Saturday newspapers focused on the Duchess of Sussex after she issued a statement regarding police allegations about her father, Thomas Markle. BBC News reported that the Daily Mail covered Metropolitan Police efforts to search for a letter concerning the claims. The Daily Telegraph reported that advisors warned her in 2018 against speaking publicly to protect any potential investigation. [1][2]

The Sun described the statement from the Duchess as brave and impactful while publishing additional allegations regarding Thomas Markle. Thomas Markle has denied possessing child sex images and called the claims sick lies. [1][3]

As FTMQ News reported earlier, the Duchess of Sussex stated she learned from police in 2018 about allegations involving alleged abuse images found at the former home of her father in the Philippines. She stated that the situation is the reason she keeps her children away from him. [3]

The newspaper coverage also touched on government finance stories. BBC News reported that the Financial Times said 20 billion pounds of extra funding would be announced for the National Wealth Fund, alongside warnings to the Prime Minister against risking a budget similar to the one under Liz Truss.
