A service highlighting the riches of the daily press.
The red-tops greet news of Prince Harry's latest romance in the only way they know how. With puns.
And when those puns have run out. More puns.

Not here though. It only really works if you already know Cressida Bonas's surname.

Only the Daily Star, which clearly sees boozy, blokeish Harry as one of its own, manages any real consistency.

Any suggestions, readers?
