How the coverage framed it

Coverage of this story was remarkably uniform across both outlets, with a bias spread of just 0.0 points and no measurable ideological lean in either direction. Both the Daily Mail and Sky News relied on straightforward, factual language to describe the same development: a watchdog body investigating how the Metropolitan Police handled a letter concerning Meghan Markle's father. The Daily Mail used the phrase "confirms it WILL investigate," while Sky News opted for "investigating," both of which convey the same procedural reality without editorializing. The capitalization of "WILL" in the Daily Mail headline adds minor typographic emphasis but carries no ideological signal. Neither outlet introduced charged language, selective characterization of the parties involved, or framing that would favor a particular political interpretation. Readers across both outlets received essentially the same neutral, fact-based account of the story.
