- 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 are returning to live in the United Kingdom after six years in California. The couple has secured a private residence outside London and has enrolled their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, in British schools for the September term. They are not expected to resume official royal duties and will continue to be treated as private citizens. King Charles III was reportedly informed of the move on August 16 and is said to welcome the opportunity to spend more time with his son and grandchildren. However, reports indicate that Prince William remains deeply angry over the return due to the public criticisms Harry made in his memoir, Spare, and previous interviews. Some sources suggest a summit was held at Balmoral to discuss the implications of the move. The reasons for the relocation vary across reports: some cite Harry's desire to be closer to the King following his cancer diagnosis, while others point to Meghan potentially returning to acting for a UK based production. Meanwhile, Prince Harry and six other public figures have been ordered to pay an initial 9.5 million pounds to the publisher of the Daily Mail following a lost High Court battle regarding unlawful information gathering.
