How the coverage framed it

Coverage of this story was remarkably uniform across all three outlets, producing a bias spread of exactly 0.0 points. Each headline treated the confirmation of Harry and Meghan's non-working royal status as a straightforward factual matter, differing only in minor stylistic choices rather than ideological framing. Reuters and Metro used the institutional language of "non-working royals," while Sky News opted for the equivalent phrase "private citizens," adding the contextual detail "despite return to UK" — the only additional information any outlet supplied. All three relied on neutral verbs and plain declarative structures, with no emotionally loaded language, sympathetic characterization, or critical framing detectable in any direction. The shared approach reflects wire-style reporting conventions, where the focus remains on the official royal status confirmation rather than on any narrative surrounding the couple's relationship with the institution.
