- 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.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle landed at Birmingham airport on Wednesday afternoon via private jet from California. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex returned to the United Kingdom with their two children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5. The move comes six years after the couple stepped back from their roles as senior working royals in 2020 to settle in the United States. The children have already been enrolled in British schools for the upcoming term starting in September. The family is expected to reside in a private, non royal residence outside of London, with multiple reports suggesting they will live in the Cotswolds area. King Charles III was informed of the move earlier this month, though the couple had visited him at Highgrove in July without discussing their immediate plans to relocate. The King has reportedly expressed a desire to see more of his family in a private capacity, but the palace has maintained that the couple will not resume official royal duties. Security arrangements for the family remain a point of contention. Prince Harry previously lost a legal challenge regarding his taxpayer funded security, and the Home Office has declined to provide specific details on current arrangements, stating that their system is rigorous and proportionate. Some reports indicate that the couple will retain their home in Montecito, California, and a property in Portugal. There is conflicting information regarding Meghan Markle's professional activities. Some sources suggest she may return to acting in the Netflix series The Gentlemen, while others claim she was dropped from the project due to public backlash. Additionally, Prince Harry is expected to oversee the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham.
