The Papers: 'Monstrous words' and 'Russia to ramp up war'

Image caption, Many of Saturday's papers continue their coverage of the fallout from Earl Spencer's book about his sister Diana, Princess of Wales. In an interview with the BBC, Earl Spencer said he was telling the truth about the nature of a phone call he had with the then Prince Charles after his sister's death. In excerpts published by the Daily Mail, the earl claimed King Charles III told him "we'll forget her soon enough", but Buckingham Palace said in a statement that fraternal grief could "colour memory". The Mail says Earl Spencer hit back at the King in a "defiant" interview.
