William 'not calm, but carrying on' after Andrew arrest and a Bafta for Buckley
The fallout from Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's arrest continues to dominate Monday's papers. The Daily Mail leads with the Prince of Wales' comments as he attended the Bafta awards on Sunday, where he was asked whether he had seen the film Hamnet: "I need to be in quite a calm state and I am not at the moment - I will save it." The paper says Prince William's appearance at the ceremony with Catherine, the Princess of Wales "signalled a determination to put the Royal Family's difficulties to one side".
"William: I need to calm down" the Daily Mirror echoes as it fills its front page with Prince William and Catherine arriving at the Baftas. The event marks the Royal couple's first public appearance since Andrew's arrest. The paper adds that Prince William is understood to be "making plans to restore public trust in the monarchy" amid the scandal.
The Sun follows with the same picture of Prince William and Catherine with the caption: "Not calm, but he's carrying on."
The Daily Star says the Royal Family is facing a "crisis" as the investigation continues and police try to gain access to files kept at Buckingham Palace.
The King has reportedly told his staff to give police access to his own files as they investigate Andrew's ties to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to the Metro. "Access all areas" is the headline. Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
Staying with Jeffrey Epstein, the Daily Telegraph reports that the late sex offender hid computers and photographs from US authorities in secret storage lockers across America. The paper cites documents that show Epstein paid private detectives to remove equipment from his Florida home in an "apparent attempt to prevent investigators from finding it".
According to the Times, the Metropolitan Police started re-examining trafficking allegations related to Jeffrey Epstein, but investigators have been told that some of the evidence has been destroyed.
Moving to news closer to home, the Guardian says ministers will reveal a "generational" overhaul of special educational needs support on Monday, pledging a £4bn package. Elsewhere, the top picture spot is taken by Bafta best actress winner Jesse Buckley, who called the award "an incredible honour".
Jesse Buckley's "triumph" at the Baftas also leads the Independent's front page. Alongside, the paper reveals Apple AirTags and small tracking devices are being "weaponised" by stalkers, forcing some victims to flee their homes and change jobs.
The i Paper shifts its focus to Peter Mandelson, reporting that the government "fast-tracked" security vetting for the former ambassador to the US despite knowing about his links to Epstein. However, the government says it was normal to prioritise vetting and any suggestion that part of the process was missed is "false".
The Daily Express says it has seen documents from Sir Keir Starmer's time as top prosecutor that show he oversaw the use of "paedophile Asbos" that let suspects off with warnings.
Finally, the Financial Times reports that Iran agreed to a secret €500m arms deal with Russia to acquire thousands of advanced missiles in an attempt to rebuild is air defences in its war with Israel last year.
