Tuesday morning UK news briefing: Tributes to Duke of Edinburgh show gulf between William and Harry

The sentiments may have been similar – but the styles could not have been more contrasting.

As the Duke of Cambridge and the Duke of Sussex released very different tributes to their grandfather within 30 minutes of each other on Monday, it was impossible to resist reading between the lines.

Camilla Tominey analyses how Prince William and Prince Harry's tributes to the Duke of Edinburgh show just how far apart they are.

Their statements also touched on the 99-year-old's precious bond with the newest additions to the Royal family.

Read how the poignant messages painted the picture of a patriarch whose absence will be felt by those young and old.

Eleanor Steafel examines whether Prince Philip's funeral could be the catalyst that heals the brothers' rift.

Told that Ghana's parliament had only 200 MPs, Prince Philip mused: "That's about the right number.

"We have 650 of them and most of them are a complete bloody waste of time."

Gordon Rayner has the best of them and Michael Deacon sketches how you could almost feel Prince Philip rolling his eyes, muttering "for pity's sake!"

It comes as the BBC's blanket coverage of the Duke of Edinburgh's death on Friday became the most complained about event in British television.
