How the coverage framed it

Coverage of this story was remarkably uniform across all three outlets, with a bias spread of just 0.0 points and no meaningful framing differences to distinguish them. Each headline conveyed the same core fact — that Harry and Meghan retain non-working royal status following their return to the UK — using plain, neutral language throughout. Newsweek and the Daily Mail both anchored their headlines to King Charles as the authoritative source, with phrases like "King Charles Confirms" and "King: Harry and Meghan are still not working royals," lending an official, declarative tone. Sky News opted for a slightly different descriptive angle, calling the couple "private citizens" rather than "non-working royals," but this reflects a difference in terminology rather than any ideological slant. All outlets relied on neutral verbs and avoided loaded or emotionally charged language, producing coverage that was factually consistent and editorially restrained across the board.
