An honest update from the Prince of Wales has led Friday’s news agenda, with other papers opting for headlines on US president-elect Donald Trump and the related fallout after the US election.

The Daily Mirror, the Daily Express, The Sun, and the Daily Mail all lead on candid comments from William, who described the past year which has seen his wife and father being treated for cancer as “brutal”.

The Metro focused on results from an independent review into a Church of England cover-up, with investigators finding the clergy did conceal atrocities committed by its worst-ever serial abuser, who subjected more than 150 child victims to severe physical, sexual, and psychological trauma.

The Daily Telegraph says the Bank of England has placed the blame for a “fresh rise in inflation” for Britons at the feet of Chancellor Rachel Reeves.

The Times leads the charge on headlines of an American nature, reporting that Mr Trump is already eyeing tax cuts on US soil while implementing foreign tariffs to encourage economic growth at home.

The Financial Times also looks across the pond for its lead, with US President Joe Biden urging America to “bring down the temperature” in the wake of the election.

The Guardian reports that Mr Biden has vowed that the coming transfer of power between presidents will be a peaceful one.

The i‘s headline focuses on possible British fallout in the wake of the US election, with the paper reporting president-elect Donald Trump may withhold intelligence from the UK.

The Independent reports on calls made by European leaders to Mr Trump, calling on him to stand up to Kremlin head Vladimir Putin.

Lastly, the Daily Star has led on the “orange manbaby” taking on space, as with astronomers and sci-fi aficionados alike urging Mr Trump to release troves of supposedly real-life X-files.
