hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the broadcaster daisy mcandrew and the parliamentary journalist tony grew. tomorrow's front pages, starting with... the mail claims there has been "huge" public backlash against the duke and duchess of sussex, with a poll of their readers showing that a little over half want their titles to be removed. the telegraph says it's believed the statement was draughted on monday, but the queen chose to "sleep on it" before it was released. the times quotes a royal source who says that the specific allegations of racism will be dealt with in private because they are "family matters". the mirror focuses on the way the royalfamily has reached out to meghan and harry,

saying they will always be loved. but the sun looks at how the palace has challenged some of the couple's comments, saying "recollections may vary". the guardian leads on warnings from the national audit office that at least 25 councils in england are risking bankruptcy amid a funding crisis. the is front page features the nhs pay rise. it says a poll for the newspaper showed 62% of its readers supported a higher wage rise for health workers. the star reports on presenter piers morgan's departure from good morning britain following criticism for his comments about the duchess of sussex and suicide. so, let's begin. let's start with the telegraph. issue of race concerning the regulations vary according to her majesty the queen. i regulations vary according to her majesty the queen.— regulations vary according to her majesty the queen. ma'esty the queen. i have got quite a majesty the queen. i have got quite a lona majesty the queen. i have got quite a long memory _ majesty the queen. i have got quite a long memory so — majesty the queen. i have got quite a long memory so i _ majesty the queen. i have got quite a long memory so i can _ majesty the queen. i have got quite a long memory so i can remember. majesty the queen. i have got quite l a long memory so i can remember the mail on sunday this week talking

about a withering dismissal of this interview before it was broadcast. now the royal family is saying this is a private matter and they are concerned about some of the things that harry meghan talked about. so it seems the palace is a bit on the back foot when it comes to this issue. but as i was saying earlier, if meghan markle group in this country, she only lived in britain for a few years and it was obviously a turbulent time. she decided to take her children to america and raise herfamily there. when it comes to the final analysis come out of it there's anything wrong with that in the exact same way i don't think there's anything wrong with the queen thinking you cannot be half a royal committee cannot be half a royal committee cannot be half inter—half outcome they have to become fully out. i do feel a lot of this is become... one of the things i think the palace were quite surprised by some of the things that were said and i think it's interesting the palace has not denied the question about how black the child would be which is obviously a deeply racist thing to say. i think the palaces on the back

foot this issue. you say. i think the palaces on the back foot this issue.— foot this issue. you were nodding alon: to foot this issue. you were nodding along to a — foot this issue. you were nodding along to a lot _ foot this issue. you were nodding along to a lot of— foot this issue. you were nodding along to a lot of what _ foot this issue. you were nodding along to a lot of what tony - foot this issue. you were nodding along to a lot of what tony has i foot this issue. you were nodding i along to a lot of what tony has been saying. the issue of race is concerning according to the queen. she governs a commonwealth that has a lot a lot a black and brown people. i mean this is not the kind of thing that you want out there, is equipment and we have already seen talking about the commonwealth... some coals and certain commonwealth countries _ some coals and certain commonwealth countries particularly in the caribbean and others, already murmurings coming saying we don't want them — murmurings coming saying we don't want them to be our monarch any more _ want them to be our monarch any more and — want them to be our monarch any more. and you can see that most nations_ more. and you can see that most nations will— more. and you can see that most nations will stick with the queen while _ nations will stick with the queen while she — nations will stick with the queen while she is the queen. when there is a new_ while she is the queen. when there is a new man sitting on the crown, they— is a new man sitting on the crown, they might — is a new man sitting on the crown, they might feel very differently. many— they might feel very differently. many commonwealth countries may well feel that's _ many commonwealth countries may well feel that's a _ many commonwealth countries may well feel that's a natural moment to break_ feel that's a natural moment to break lies _ feel that's a natural moment to break ties. and that something the royai— break ties. and that something the royal family will be deeply concerned about. and i agree with tony— concerned about. and i agree with tony and — concerned about. and i agree with tony and i— concerned about. and i agree with tony and i do think that some of what _ tony and i do think that some of what meghan said so for instance

when _ what meghan said so for instance when i _ what meghan said so for instance when i had always listen the clips of the _ when i had always listen the clips of the interview, i was pretty much on team _ of the interview, i was pretty much on team meghan and was very thin but that it _ on team meghan and was very thin but that it to— on team meghan and was very thin but that it to what she said. when out and watched the entire two hours, i thought— and watched the entire two hours, i thought some of the substance of what she — thought some of the substance of what she was saying, it did not feel like it— what she was saying, it did not feel like it was— what she was saying, it did not feel like it was the complete picture. but particularly the stuff about why archie _ but particularly the stuff about why archie was not called a prince, while — archie was not called a prince, while they— archie was not called a prince, while they were not getting security, if you know a little bit atrout— security, if you know a little bit about how _ security, if you know a little bit about how these things work. the accusations that those were racist decisions — accusations that those were racist decisions did not seem to me to be accurate _ decisions did not seem to me to be accurate. the accusation that she has experienced racism and that somebody said these dreadful things about her— somebody said these dreadful things about her baby did ring true, so i do think— about her baby did ring true, so i do think you don't have to be entirely— do think you don't have to be entirely on team meghan or entirely on team _ entirely on team meghan or entirely on team buckingham palace. ithink there _ on team buckingham palace. ithink there is— on team buckingham palace. ithink there is a _ on team buckingham palace. ithink there is a middle waiver you can see and as— there is a middle waiver you can see and as with — there is a middle waiver you can see and as with most disagreements both sides are _ and as with most disagreements both sides are at _ and as with most disagreements both sides are at fault. toni.r and as with most disagreements both sides are at fault.— sides are at fault. tony you said earlier that _ sides are at fault. tony you said earlier that meghan _ sides are at fault. tony you said earlier that meghan was - sides are at fault. tony you said earlier that meghan was not - sides are at fault. tony you said l earlier that meghan was not born sides are at fault. tony you said - earlier that meghan was not born in this country. the vitriol and the

spiky nature of our press if i can put it that way is a shock. but she clearly came across in the interview is also being shocked at the sort of unity of the firm as it were. and the way that it response to outsiders. despite the fact that diana was in a similar situation and despite the fact that her husband is the son of diana. did all that ring true to you as well? did you find all of that credible? mr; true to you as well? did you find all of that credible?— true to you as well? did you find all of that credible? my concern at the start was _ all of that credible? my concern at the start was that _ all of that credible? my concern at the start was that meghan - all of that credible? my concern at | the start was that meghan thought she would be a princess and an american because of the princes and not understand that being a minor royal in the british rule family is quite a boring job. you are not allowed to express opinions and basically spend your time visiting leisure centres quite frankly and so it's very difficult from the disney idea of what a princess is. but i also think that the british press are fierce and they will take people down without fear or favour but they

can also be a bit obsessive. we will come to the daily mail in a minute and they have 15 pages of coverage and they have 15 pages of coverage and is that enough? will not 20 pages about this relatively... and he will talk about this is the worst thing that's happened since the application but it really is not. they had a man who was six in light of the front has very little to do with the king wanted to marry a divorced person in the 1930s. i lose divorced person in the 1930s. i love the way you — divorced person in the 1930s. i love the way you keep — divorced person in the 1930s. i love the way you keep things _ divorced person in the 1930s. i love the way you keep things in - the way you keep things in perspective, tony. going back to the 15 pages, daisy, the front page of the delete mail call, strip them of titles. they should be stripped of their royal titles, a survey said last night. this is in the daily mail. is last night. this is in the daily mail. , ., , ., ., ., mail. is that before or after we take their _ mail. is that before or after we take their heads _ mail. is that before or after we take their heads off? - mail. is that before or after we take their heads off? lord - mail. is that before or after we i take their heads off? lord knows. it does have that _ take their heads off? lord knows. it does have that sort _ take their heads off? lord knows. it does have that sort of _ take their heads off? lord knows. it does have that sort of ring - take their heads off? lord knows. it does have that sort of ring about i does have that sort of ring about it. does have that sort of ring about it there — does have that sort of ring about it there is— does have that sort of ring about it. there is this poll which the daily— it. there is this poll which the daily mail— it. there is this poll which the daily mail has done and they are saying _ daily mail has done and they are saying that 51% of respondents to

and i_ if not the queen or prince philip. and i think— if not the queen or prince philip. and i think that is also a very difficult — and i think that is also a very difficult position to hold because then it _ difficult position to hold because then it is — difficult position to hold because then it is literally who said, he said _ then it is literally who said, he said chemist he said, we don't know who said _ said chemist he said, we don't know who said what. and that is a hard position— who said what. and that is a hard position for— who said what. and that is a hard position for the public to be and, i think _ position for the public to be and, i think. ., y position for the public to be and, i think. ., , ., ' , think. the only male 15 pages in the times and very _ think. the only male 15 pages in the times and very skimpy _ think. the only male 15 pages in the times and very skimpy only - think. the only male 15 pages in the times and very skimpy only on i think. the only male 15 pages in the j times and very skimpy only on page four. sussexes don't need protection. their risk is not high enough. that goes back to, tony, what you are indicating that some of the details and daisy mentioned as well some of the details of what meghan was saying... it is interesting that a lot of that stuff that seems to be controversial came out with her speaking directly to oprah winfrey without harry being there. and i wonder why... iwonder why they decided to frame the interview in those two chunks as it were. i interview in those two chunks as it were. ~' interview in those two chunks as it

were. ~ ., , ., , interview in those two chunks as it were. ~ ., ,., , , were. i think the reason why is because americans _ were. i think the reason why is because americans are - were. i think the reason why is because americans are not i were. i think the reason why is i because americans are not vested in prince harry is supposed to meghan markle and also he is not that interesting. but here's the thing she discovered. more than 99% of the population of the world don't live in britain. netflix it paid her $100 million in the event and that because they are a charity. that is the work of the content they think she will bring for them. so i think it was certainly clever. which member of the family made that racist comment perhaps she would discuss the interest an interview with oprah winfrey. i think she is play this game quite well and i think the certificate think she is discovered is the british tabloids are obsessed with her and she is now obsessive the british tabloids and has her eye on a much larger market in america with 300 million consumers where she is a native girl who thought she was going to have a fairy tale wedding and it all turned to disaster. it's a licence to print money. to disaster. it's a licence to print mone . ., , to disaster. it's a licence to print mone. ., ._ money. you spotted that's a clearly fleet street — money. you spotted that's a clearly fleet street has _ money. you spotted that's a clearly fleet street has spotted _ money. you spotted that's a clearly fleet street has spotted that i money. you spotted that's a clearly fleet street has spotted that and i fleet street has spotted that and fleet street has spotted that and fleet street has spotted that and fleet street as we all know don't let people who sort of have ideas

above their station, do they? working the system and is that part of this and has this always been part of the equation with the british press and meghan? that is certainly what _ british press and meghan? that is certainly what she _ british press and meghan? that is certainly what she was _ british press and meghan? that is certainly what she was implying i british press and meghan? that is i certainly what she was implying when she was— certainly what she was implying when she was saying it is outrageous they io she was saying it is outrageous they go to— she was saying it is outrageous they go to parties and the journalists and the — go to parties and the journalists and the palace are basically hugging and the palace are basically hugging and all— and the palace are basically hugging and all in _ and the palace are basically hugging and all in their pockets and giving to their— and all in their pockets and giving to their stories but i did not get any protection. and i think also the fact that _ any protection. and i think also the fact that the palace was used to having _ fact that the palace was used to having young royals come in who they could completely mould and dominate. they think— could completely mould and dominate. they think of diana, she was a teenager— they think of diana, she was a teenager and think of kate, who became — teenager and think of kate, who became part of the royal set up when she was— became part of the royal set up when she was very young. she met william at university. so these are malleable people who did not have careers _ malleable people who did not have careers and he did not have their own personal following other than being _ own personal following other than being associated with the royals. meghan— being associated with the royals. meghan was totally different and one who was— meghan was totally different and one who was more demanding. but demanding in the grown—up way, not

in the _ demanding in the grown—up way, not in the pushy, — demanding in the grown—up way, not in the pushy, diva way that she has been _ in the pushy, diva way that she has been portrayed. and i think therefore there was that clash that was always going to be between them. though— was always going to be between them. though again these things about the protection, that did annoy me when i watched _ protection, that did annoy me when i watched the interview because she was talking about the fact that the royal _ was talking about the fact that the royal family took the protection away~ _ royal family took the protection away it's— royal family took the protection away. it's very that police pays for that protection and more than ten years— that protection and more than ten years ago. — that protection and more than ten years ago, the met commissioner at the time _ years ago, the met commissioner at the time made a strong case and a convincing — the time made a strong case and a convincing case that he one that beatrice — convincing case that he one that beatrice and eugenie should have their protection taken away is that costing _ their protection taken away is that costing more than half year if that was ten _ costing more than half year if that was ten years ago. as they are grandchildren of the monarch in the same _ grandchildren of the monarch in the same way— grandchildren of the monarch in the same way that harry is so there is precedent — same way that harry is so there is precedent for all of this and they wanted _ precedent for all of this and they wanted to— precedent for all of this and they wanted to take a back—seat so the fact that _ wanted to take a back—seat so the fact that they were going to lose some _ fact that they were going to lose some protection and the fact they were _ some protection and the fact they were going to lose some protection and the _ were going to lose some protection and the fact that arch did not get protection, as the great wrench out of the _ protection, as the great wrench out of the monarch, you don't and they

said that _ of the monarch, you don't and they said that he — of the monarch, you don't and they said that he should because they were _ said that he should because they were implying of his colour. because they were _ were implying of his colour. because they were saying he was getting more death threats than a white prince or white _ death threats than a white prince or white royal baby... most of the experts — white royal baby... most of the experts just white royal baby... most of the expertsjust simply white royal baby... most of the experts just simply don't agree with that particularly when they move to canada _ that particularly when they move to canada and the police said the canadian — canada and the police said the canadian police, your problem now, you can _ canadian police, your problem now, you can pay— canadian police, your problem now, you can pay for their protection and that was— you can pay for their protection and that was very well— publicized. so a lot of _ that was very well— publicized. so a lot of the _ that was very well— publicized. so a lot of the stories did not really add up — lot of the stories did not really add u. ~ ., lot of the stories did not really add u -. ~ ., ., add up. we will go to the deli mirror next. _ add up. we will go to the deli mirror next. another - add up. we will go to the deli mirror next. another casualty add up. we will go to the deli i mirror next. another casualty in this whole thing has been the career of pierce morgan. he is a very wealthy man so i don't think anyone will be weeping that he is not able to buy bread in the morning, but he has walked off his show and this seemingly is because partly ofcom is a mess getting him his 41,000 viewers complained about his mental health slur and the guardian reports a formal complaint was put in by the

duchess of sussex. and he is a man who is intrinsically intertwined in this story. i who is intrinsically intertwined in this sto . ., ., , , this story. i think he thinks he is. i don't this story. i think he thinks he is. i don't think— this story. i think he thinks he is. i don't think anyone _ this story. i think he thinks he is. i don't think anyone else - this story. i think he thinks he is. i don't think anyone else does. i this story. i think he thinks he is. i i don't think anyone else does. can i don't think anyone else does. can ijust say it is this the same piers morgan who spends his time tweeting about snowflakes? is that this piers morgan who has walked off? i about snowflakes? is that this piers morgan who has walked off?- morgan who has walked off? i think it mirht morgan who has walked off? i think it miaht be morgan who has walked off? i think it might be the _ morgan who has walked off? i think it might be the same _ morgan who has walked off? i think it might be the same guy, - morgan who has walked off? i think it might be the same guy, yeah. i morgan who has walked off? i think i it might be the same guy, yeah. when the au find it might be the same guy, yeah. when the guy find interesting _ it might be the same guy, yeah. when the guy find interesting is _ it might be the same guy, yeah. barren the guy find interesting is this is a commercial decision as much of anything else and itv have let him walk away and i find that really very interesting because it surely if he was a massive asset to your channel you would do anything you can and set the other presenter, not the name presenter. so i don't understand why they have let him just walk away and whether he was unhappy or he decided that he wanted to leave but i thought it was interesting that they said it will not make any more comment about it. ijust found it not make any more comment about it. i just found it that they are commercial channel that makes decisions based on commercial considerations. and so ijust found

it very interesting that he is been allowed to walk away so easily. because of under contract obviously. but if you are attracting the attention of ofcom, more complaints, tens of thousands than they have had in 15 years, something has to give. that is catnip to them, for publicity. what is ofcom going to do? tell them off? there is no massive rest of their business from them saying they have done a bad thing. the bbc is very risk—averse in this area but itv is not. laughter. why are you smiling, tony? i will pull the plug now before you say anything else. but that is interesting because what is the difference between the broadcast media in this country and the press is that there is a regulator that has teeth. in a regulator show those

teeth to a degree in this case. it teeth to a degree in this case. it did to a degree but actually i think who showed their teeth was meghan and her— who showed their teeth was meghan and her army who showed their teeth was meghan and herarmy of who showed their teeth was meghan and her army of fans. you can bet your— and her army of fans. you can bet your bottom — and her army of fans. you can bet your bottom dollar that a huge number— your bottom dollar that a huge number of those 41,000 complaints came _ number of those 41,000 complaints came from _ number of those 41,000 complaints came from this army of meghan fans. and they— came from this army of meghan fans. and they are — came from this army of meghan fans. and they are a formidable force. i have _ and they are a formidable force. i have seen— and they are a formidable force. i have seen them in action. and when they go— have seen them in action. and when they go up— have seen them in action. and when they go up against particularly thomas— they go up against particularly thomas markle or samantha mark roe to the _ thomas markle or samantha mark roe to the spats and its thousands upon thousands— to the spats and its thousands upon thousands who get involved and the point that— thousands who get involved and the point that he made is that meghan markle _ point that he made is that meghan markle is — point that he made is that meghan markle is a very big commercial juggernaut now. netflix, spot modify. — juggernaut now. netflix, spot modify, the interview when it was being _ modify, the interview when it was being broadcast on cbs, the adverts were going for half $1 million each. there _ were going for half $1 million each. there is— were going for half $1 million each. there is a _ were going for half $1 million each. there is a lot of money swirling around — there is a lot of money swirling around and _ there is a lot of money swirling around and the broadcasters know

he paid tribute to loew�*s achievements, but said he won't be leaving anfield. for sure one of the most successful, did an incrediblejob really. and i understand that he wants to have this highlight for him as a european championship, tries to squeeze everything out that he can in this tournament. with the amount of really good german managers at the moment, germany will be able to find a good solution. if that's the question we want to ask, if i'm available for the job or for the coach of the german national team in the summer, no. the leading neuropathologist whose work helped identify the link between football and dementia has called the implementation of concussion substitutes a shambles. speaking in front of a parliamentary inquiry, dr willie stewart, whose research found former players are 3.5 times more likely to die from neurodegenerative disease, said the new rules are not helping the health of the players.

football has a habit of, whenever it's faced with having to develop... going out on their own and trying to develop... to everybody else as if the problem never occurred before. the new plan football has introduced this is a shambles in 2021. wales have made two changes from the side that beat england in the six nations ahead of saturday's game against italy in rome. with scrum half kieran hardy ruled out through injury, his scarlets team—mate gareth davies comes in to the starting 15, while lock cory hill starts in place of adam beard. british number one dan evans has set up a second round meeting with roger federer at the qatar open, after beating jeremy chardy two sets to one. the first set took more than an hour. evans saved ten break points, but eventually came out on top 6—4. and although chardy forced a deciding set, evans won that 6—2 to set up a meeting with federer, who's been training with the 30—year—old brit to prepare for his first tournament since last yea r�*s australian open.

i have a tough draw, i feel, but let's be honest, any draw would've been a difficult draw after not having played for a year, so... but practice the last few weeks, i really feel like have been really good, so that puts me in a positive mindset for my first round here in doha. former masters champion danny willett has withdrawn from this week's players championship in florida after testing positive for coronavirus. the tournament is due to start on thursday, but willett won't be in the field. it's a setback for the winner of the greenjacket in 2016, with the masters starting in around a month's time. meanwhile, one man hoping to rediscover his form ahead of the first major of the year is the defending champion at sawgrass, rory mcilroy, who says he's yet to fulfil his potential. there's no point in me being out here if i didn't think that. you know, that'sjust not part of my psyche or anyone's psyche out here. i think that's a difference between people that make it to the elite level and the people

that don't because they don't think that way. so there's, you know... i firmly believe that my best days are ahead of me, and i'm working hard to make sure that they are. there's a new man in the lead after stage three of the paris—nice cycle race — young swiss rider stefan bissegger, who won the stage and took the overall lead in the process. it's the 22—year—old's first race as a professional. today's stage was an 8.6—mile time trial, and bissegger posted the fastest time on the course by less than a second. jos buttler says england's policy of resting and rotating players is the right thing to do, despite the team's recent heavy test series defeat in india. and buttler was one of the players who returned home early from that series, having played in england's win in the first test, in order to spend time at home. and that was ahead of the t20 series against the same opponents, which starts on friday. england were criticised by some

for not playing their strongest side throughout, but buttler says with a packed calendar this year, it's the right call to manage workloads. i think we need to get away from the idea that you just go until you break and we leave the players behind. there's so much cricket coming up that it's absolutely a huge... with the ashes at the end of the year, you need to be getting to that point with players in the best shape to be able to go and perform in that series as opposed to being burnt out and no longer wanting to be in that environment. and the former england bowlerjoey benjamin has died at the age of 60. benjamin won one test cap for england during a memorable victory over south africa at the oval in 1994 and took 387 first class wickets during an 11—year career with warwickshire and surrey. and, of course, two champions league last 16 ties came to a conclusion this evening. to find out who has gone through to the quarterfinals, you can head to bbc sport website,
