The main story for the Daily Telegraph is the signing of the official Brexit agreement by Boris Johnson.
A photo of the moment takes up most of the front page, under the headline "Signed and Sealed".
Alongside the prime minister's words about forging a new relationship with the EU, the Telegraph reports that France is demanding fishing rights in British waters for 25 years.
The result, it says, could be taxes of 30% on some types of French cheese and 10% on German cars.
The Guardian talks about a global push to contain the spread of the new coronavirus from China. It describes "panic and despair" in hospitals across Wuhan, the city at the centre of the outbreak.
The Sun says 19 new potential cases of what it calls "snake flu" have emerged in the UK - after 14 others were given the all-clear.
The Financial Times calls for "perspective", arguing that the new virus appears to be less deadly than its cousin, Sars, which itself killed far fewer people than seasonal 'flu does every year.
Prince Charles's visit to the Palestinian territories is front page news for The Daily Mirror, which highlights what it calls his passionate plea for peace in the Middle East.
The prince told Christian and Muslim leaders in Bethlehem that suffering and division in the region broke his heart.
The Telegraph says his words were the clearest indication of support for the Palestinians ever given by a member of the Royal Family.
The Daily Express leads with the findings of its own opinion poll, which it says reveals a crisis of public confidence facing the Royal Family.
The survey of 2,000 people, conducted earlier this week, suggests fewer than half of young adults believe that the monarchy is "good for the UK".
In the Express's opinion, the younger generation need persuading about the value of the Royal Family, which must be prepared to change to maintain the confidence of the British people.
It reports that up to £60m could now be redirected to fraud policing, to fund 400 new officers and staff in regional squads.
Finally, the Daily Mail reports that the Chelsea Flower Show is getting what it calls "an erotic makeover".
The cause of the Mail's palpitations is an exhibit called The Lady Garden featuring plants and sculptures echoing the curves of the female form.
The designer, Jennifer Hirsch, says her garden will highlight what makes women different from men, challenge social taboos and champion feminist values.
Professor Stefan Buczacki, formerly of Gardeners' Question Time, calls it "sexist" and "pathetic" -- telling the paper that Chelsea should be about gardens, not offending, shocking or empowering people.
The Mail sums it up with a one-word headline: "Naughticultural!"
