Images of Prince Charles, visiting Somerset's flood victims, make many front pages. The Daily Mail pictures him on the back of a tractor. Its lead says 800 suspected cancer sufferers were discharged from a hospital in error. 
The Prince is also on the front of the Times, which interprets Chancellor George Osborne's comments to peers about the challenges of ensuring housing supply meets demand as a suggestion that prices will continue rising for a decade. 
The Guardian pictures the prince on a rescue boat. It leads on a report that Justice Secretary Chris Grayling is to launch new crackdowns on terrorists, saying the minister is "burnishing his right-wing credentials". 
The Daily Express has more bad weather news, suggesting the worst storm of the year so far is on the way. Gales of up to 100mph will batter the coast, it says, with 2in (5cm) of heavy rain affecting the already sodden south west. 
Conservatives accuse Lib Dems of showing "complete disregard" for voters after they blocked plans to lower the 2% cap on council tax rises, reports the Daily Telegraph. Lib Dems say a cut to 1.5% would be "devastating" for local services. 
One in four young people could be missing from the electoral register, reports the i, which suggests that disillusionment with Westminster party politics has led hundreds of thousands of people aged 18 to 21 to miss out on voting rights. 
Foreign news leads some papers. The Independent has a dispatch from Patrick Cockburn, who's said to be the only Western journalist to have witnessed the latest bout of shelling in the Syrian city of Homs. 
The Daily Mirror has an exclusive report from Kenya suggesting that one poacher has boasted of having killed 70 elephants for their tusks as he feeds the ivory trade, which the paper says funds terrorism and endangers the species. 
The Daily Star claims an exclusive when reporting that one of the characters from the Channel 4 documentary Benefits Street, Deirdre Kelly, is being urged by neighbours to stand for parliament. 
The Metro reports from an employment tribunal, which heard claims of violent conduct by pupils at Oxfordshire's independent Oratory School. A council officer reportedly said there was no evidence the school tried to cover up offences. 
The Sun follows Tuesday's lead about the wife of the Commons Speaker by claiming Sally Bercow's friends warned a woman to keep away from a man who Mrs Bercow later kissed in a nightclub. Mrs Bercow says she did nothing wrong. 
The Financial Times leads on the appointment of a new chief executive at computer giant Microsoft, saying that Satya Nadella was selected for his expertise in cloud software platforms.
