Unsurprisingly nearly every newspaper in the country has led with the news that Prince Harry has become engaged to American Meghan Markle. The Daily Express leads the charge with the headline “the look of love”. The Express reports Prince Harry said: “When did I know she was the one? From the very first time we met.”
Image captionThe Telegraph’s front page is adorned with a picture of a beaming Prince Harry and Ms Markle in the Sunken Garden at Kensington Palace. The paper reports the fifth in line to the throne proposed to his bride-to-be over a roast chicken supper.
Image captionThe i claims the union between the “divorced American actress” and the prince will be a “royal wedding like no other”. Its front page in the paper states Ms Markle will become the first mixed-race member of the Royal Family.
Image captionThe Metro is dubbing Tuesday’s issue the “royal engagement special”. The paper highlights Ms Markle’s engagement ring, which was designed by Prince Harry.
Image captionThe Sun has employed a classic Robbie Williams track in its headline on Harry and Meghan. “She’s the one” sums up the story in three words.
Image caption“The stars were all aligned,” is the quote from Prince Harry the Daily Mail chooses to focus on for its headline, along with a promise of a 24-page glossy souvenir magazine.
Image captionThe Daily Mirror states that diamonds owned by Prince Harry’s mother were used in the engagement ring designed for Ms Markle
Image captionThe Daily Star has seen an opportunity in their front page story, campaigning for a bank holiday for “party-loving Brits” to celebrate the royal wedding, “sparking a 72-hour knees-up”.
Image captionThe value of virtual currency Bitcoin has soared by 850% since January, the Financial Times reports. But traditional marketplaces warned they were becoming “uncomfortable” as the cryptocurrency approached the symbolic $10,000 (£7,500) threshold. The world’s largest trading platform IG Group suspended trading of some Bitcoin derivatives on Monday after demand for the products left the company facing a high security risk.
Image captionLeft-wing supporters of Jeremy Corbyn have begun a “purge” of centrist local councillors in a bid to put their candidates up for local election, the Times claims. The paper says politicians across the country have been deselected in favour of candidates aligned with the Momentum campaign group.
Image captionBrexit Secretary David Davis could be in contempt of parliament after providing “heavily redacted” reports on the impact of leaving the EU to a select committee, the Guardian reports. MPs have accused Mr Davis of leaving out “politically embarrassing” information after refusing to include anything that could be considered market sensitive.

The front pages are dominated by pictures of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle after their royal engagement, many taking up their full length. The Sun has a picture of the couple gazing at each other during their appearance outside Kensington Palace, and the headline: “She’s the one.”

A similar picture in the Express has the headline: “The look of love.” Other headlines use quotes from the couple’s television interview. The Telegraph has: “The corgis took to her straightaway.”

The Times says the interview displayed the emotional openness of the Royal Family’s younger generation.

In Toronto – where Ms Markle has been living and working as an actress for the past seven years – the Toronto Star says the fact the couple’s love story has a distinct touch of Toronto makes the occasion all the happier locally.

The royal bride-to-be went to Northwestern University in Illinios, and the Chicago Tribune runs the headline: “2003 graduate accepts government post in London.”

It describes her as a television actress who’s moving to London to pursue an exciting career that combines diplomacy and charity work. The position comes with the title Her Royal Highness, it adds.

The Times reports that Jeremy Corbyn’s left-wing supporters have been accused of carrying out an “aggressive purge” of centrist councillors to put up their own candidates in local elections next year.

It says councillors across the country have been deselected in a vote of local members or have faced pressure not to contest their seats, in favour of candidates more closely aligned to the cause of the Labour leader and the Momentum campaign that supports him.

The release of six former British soldiers detained in India on weapons charges since 2013 is widely reported, but there’s criticism of the Indian justice system.

In the Sun’s view, it was outrageous and a mark of the “chaotic” Indian legal system that the men were locked up at all, let alone for so long.

The Mirror thinks the legal and diplomatic systems clearly failed the “Chennai Six”. After initial charges were quashed, then re-instated by a lower court, followed by convictions in January last year, before Monday’s acquittal, something went badly wrong.
