A few papers largely avoid the royal saga on their front pages, starting with the i weekend, which claims that a Chinese tracking device has been discovered hidden inside a British government official’s car. At the time of writing, senior Whitehall officials had refused to comment on the allegations. The paper also teases a look on its inside pages at the ongoing political drama in the US, where a Speaker for the House of Representatives had still not been decided after more than a dozen votes. It quotes journalist Emily Maitlis as saying the saga means the UK is no longer the “laughing stock of the world”.
