Queen Camilla's first remarks about King Charles III's cancer journey is prominent across Wednesday's papers. "Look at my husband, nothing stopped him" is the Sun's headline, quoting the Queen who praised her husband's courage while coping with his diagnosis.

The Queen says she was "longing" to share her experience while launching a cancer support centre just days after learning of her husband's diagnosis, according to the Daily Express. The paper says her comments are part of a short film being released on Wednesday to mark the 30th anniversary of Maggie's cancer support charity.

"Camilla's anguish over King's cancer" echoes the Daily Mirror's front page.

The Daily Telegraph follows with more details from the film, with the King saying he would "cope" with the cancer diagnosis and was determined to continue with work. Elsewhere, the paper pictures the British couple who were killed in a helicopter crash in Greece on Monday while on their honeymoon.

The Metro shifts its focus to the Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, who says the UK will continue to "support Ukraine 100%" despite threats of "revenge" from Moscow after UK-made drones were used in strikes against Russia.

"Burnham hits back at Russian threats" says the Independent as it reports that Russia's embassy to the UK accused the government of "deliberately opting for an escalation of the Ukraine crisis".

Writing in the Guardian, Burnham has pledged another £100m to end street homelessness and urged local leaders to offer all rough sleepers in England a route off the streets. The paper adds the PM also promised to mount a Covid-style campaign to get everyone off the streets this winter.

Housing Secretary Angela Rayner says every homeless person across England will be offered a bed by Christmas, the i Paper reports. It adds that the pledge will be a "major test" of the PM's drive to end rough sleeping.

In more news from the PM, the Times says Burnham intends for No 10 North to take over responsibility for economic growth from the Treasury. In an interview with the paper, the PM says the move is part of a "huge transfer of power" away from Whitehall.

The Daily Mail leads with the story of three members of a family who drowned off the West Sussex coast on Tuesday. Emergency services were called after four people were seen struggling in the water at Shoreham.

Long-term borrowing costs hit multi-decade highs on Tuesday, according to the Financial Times as it reports fears over inflation and fiscal deficits is pushing pressure on government debt around the globe.

Finally, the Daily Star's splashes on a picture of Jeremy Clarkson's lawn, which the paper says has remained lush and green because of a borehole water trick as millions struggle with a wider hosepipe ban.
