- 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 returned to the United Kingdom with their children, Archie and Lilibet, after six years of living in the United States. The Duchess of Sussex shared a video on Instagram depicting the family's new life in the Cotswolds, featuring scenes of the couple walking in the woods, Harry fishing in a stream, and the children playing. While the video portrays a serene family atmosphere, the return has been marked by a formal clarification from Buckingham Palace. A letter sent by the Lord Chamberlain on behalf of King Charles III specifies that the Sussexes remain non working royals and are to be regarded as private citizens in their future business and charitable activities. The couple's entourage expressed surprise at this designation, arguing that they should be recognized as public figures for security reasons. Prince Harry is scheduled for several public engagements in September, including events for the Invictus Games, and a brief trip to the United States for a charity event with Bill and Hillary Clinton. There are also reports that Meghan Markle may return to acting in the series The Gentleman, though this remains unconfirmed. Public reception remains mixed, with one report citing a YouGov poll indicating that only 16 percent of respondents fully approve of their return.
