“Leave Kate alone!” says photo flogger – Are YOU having a quarter-life crisis? – Dress like your nan, say fashionistas

We read the papers so you don’t have to. Today: Pap smear. Sneaky Kate photo snapper tells everyone else to leave the Princess alone. Smells like teen dispirit. The earth's burning, there’s a housing crisis but the papers are still wondering why young people aren’t as happy as their parents. Plus – Drop it like Grandma. Need style tips? Look to your gran.

Miranda Sawyer is joined by journalist Jonn Elledge and comedian Esther Manito.
