- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have moved their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, to a new school just days after the start of the term due to security concerns. A spokesperson for the couple stated that the decision followed discussions with their security team regarding the practicalities of their arrangements, specifically citing the distance between their home and the original school and heavy traffic in the area. The spokesperson emphasized that the move was not a reflection of the care provided by the original school staff.
The school change coincides with a review of the couple's publicly funded security. The Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures, known as Ravec, is reconsidering the level of police protection for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex now that they are full time residents of the UK. The committee is reportedly commissioning new risk assessments for both Harry and Meghan, requesting details on their daily routines and travel routes to evaluate potential threats.
The family returned to the UK in late August after living in California for six years. Despite their return, a letter issued on behalf of King Charles reiterated that Harry and Meghan remain non working royals and private individuals. This follows a history of legal challenges by Prince Harry to regain the same degree of protection he had before stepping down from royal duties in 2020.
Meghan recently shared a video on social media providing a glimpse of the family's life in the UK, showing the couple and their children on outdoor adventures. Separately, it was reported that Uganda will participate in the next Invictus Games after the King's private secretary reassured Uganda's military chief of the monarch's approval.
