King Charles III and Queen Camilla’s state visit to the US dominates Tuesday’s papers. The Times’ top picture features the King and Queen greeted by US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump at the White House. The paper previews the King’s address to the US Congress later saying he will deliver a “message of unity” and remind Washington of the shared “democratic, legal and social” values of the two nations. Elsewhere, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is trying to shore up support ahead of a critical Commons vote on whether there should be a parliamentary investigation over his claims about the vetting of Lord Mandelson, the Times reports.
The Daily Telegraph goes with “Starmer pleads with MPs to save him”, saying the PM told Labour MP’s in a meeting that the vote on Tuesday is “a pure political stunt” by the opposition who want to “bring us down”. The paper also provides more details on the King’s speech to US Congress, reporting that the address will call for the US and UK to “come together” and include references to Ukraine, the Middle East, and the Aukus defence pact.
