- 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 are planning to move their family back to the United Kingdom later this month after living in California for six years. The couple intends to settle in a private, non royal residence outside of London with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Reports indicate that the children have already been enrolled in British schools for the term beginning in September. King Charles III was reportedly informed of the decision on Sunday and is said to welcome the opportunity to spend more time with his family in a personal capacity. However, the King has clarified that the couple's status as private citizens will not change, and they are not expected to resume official duties as working royals.
Security arrangements for the family remain a central point of contention. Prime Minister Andy Burnham stated that security is a private matter for the couple, while the Home Office noted that decisions are made by the Royal and VIP Executive Committee. This follows a legal dispute in which Prince Harry sought taxpayer funded protection after his security was downgraded following his move to the United States. The couple is expected to maintain their home in Montecito, California, as well as a vacation residence in Portugal.
The move follows a period of gradual reconciliation between Prince Harry and King Charles III, including a private meeting at Highgrove House in July. Despite this, multiple reports suggest that the relationship between Prince Harry and his brother, Prince William, remains strained and unresolved.
