Emma Stone — unclear in the provided context

Any reference to Emma Stone is unclear in the provided context. The supplied material contains no factual detail about her, and further information on that subject is unclear in the provided context.

Prince William and Catherine at the Baftas

Front pages concentrate on the Prince of Wales' appearance at the Bafta awards on Sunday alongside Catherine, the Princess of Wales. When asked whether he had seen the film Hamnet, he said he needed to be in "quite a calm state" and that he was not at the moment and would save it. Photographs of Prince William and Catherine arriving at the ceremony filled prominent space, marking the couple's first joint public appearance since Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's arrest.

That appearance was framed in the coverage as signalling a determination to put the Royal Family's difficulties to one side. Other headlines stressed that, despite not being calm, the Prince is carrying on. Coverage also suggests Prince William is understood to be making plans to restore public trust in the monarchy amid the scandal.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's arrest, palace files and the King's cooperation

Monday's material stresses the continuing fallout from Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's arrest. The investigation has seen police seeking access to files kept at Buckingham Palace, and the King has told his staff to give police access to his own files as investigators probe Andrew's ties to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. One headline given to that development was "Access all areas. " Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing.

At the same time, coverage describes the Royal Family as facing a "crisis" while the investigation continues.

Jeffrey Epstein material, destroyed evidence and storage units

Separate threads in the coverage turn back to Jeffrey Epstein. The material indicates Epstein hid computers and photographs from US authorities in secret storage lockers across America, and that documents show he paid private detectives to remove equipment from his Florida home in an apparent attempt to prevent investigators from finding it. It is stated that investigators have been re-examining trafficking allegations related to Jeffrey Epstein but have been told some of the evidence has been destroyed.

Additional detail notes that Epstein rented six storage units across the US as part of an apparent attempt to hide computers and other documents from investigators. Those units were never raided, the material says.

Other front-page agendas: education overhaul, Bafta winners, tracking devices, vetting and arms deals

  • Domestic policy: Ministers will reveal a "generational" overhaul of special educational needs support with a pledged £4bn package.
  • Bafta coverage: The top picture spot went to Bafta best actress winner Jesse Buckley, who called the award "an incredible honour, " and her triumph led another front page.
  • Public safety: Coverage highlights that small tracking devices and similar tools are being weaponised by stalkers, forcing some victims to flee their homes and even change jobs.
  • Security vetting: One headline focuses on an instance in which security vetting was fast-tracked for Peter Mandelson while his links to Epstein were known; the government described prioritising vetting as normal and said any suggestion that part of the process was missed is false.
  • Past prosecutions: Documents from Sir Keir Starmer's time as top prosecutor are said to show he oversaw the use of "paedophile Asbos" that allowed some suspects to be let off with warnings.
  • International arms reporting: The material states Iran agreed to a secret €500m arms deal with Russia to acquire thousands of advanced missiles in an attempt to rebuild its air defences in its war with Israel last year.

Taken together, the front pages captured in this briefing present a mixture of royal damage control, renewed scrutiny of historical abuse allegations and a batch of domestic policy and international-security stories that will keep the news agenda busy in the near term. Where the material lacked detail, the note is that those items are unclear in the provided context.
