- 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.
Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, announced the birth of a baby girl on August 4. According to Buckingham Palace, the child was born at 6:20 p.m. on Monday, August 3, 2026, at a hospital in Lisbon, Portugal. The baby weighed 6lb 9oz. This is the couple's third child, following their two sons, August and Ernest. The parents stated on Instagram that they are taking time to decide on a name.
King Charles and Queen Camilla, along with other members of the royal family, expressed their delight at the news. The newborn is 15th in line to the British throne and is the 15th great grandchild of the late Queen Elizabeth II. The birth is noted as a rare instance of a royal family member being born overseas, which is attributed to the couple's connections to Portugal.
Reporting on the event varied based on political lean. A center left source framed the birth as a stark contrast to the legal and social troubles of the baby's grandfather, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, detailing his arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office and the appearance of the princess's name in documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. A center right source also mentioned the tarnished reputation of Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and his loss of titles and home, while noting that Eugenie and her sister Beatrice remain connected to some royal events.
