A recurring feature of news media in the UK is that the banal events of the royal family are splashed across the headlines, as if to lift the hearts of a loyal nation. Occasionally it's a scandal, but more often it's some sycophantic article full of "ma'am"s or pics galore of the youngest royals: their first day at school, etc.
Yesterday, almost every newspaper's front page carried the same photo of Harry & Megan, with a short article cooing over their latest announcement. Sample headlines: "MEGnificent!" "Valentine's Day Joy: Baby No.2 On The Way!"
Oddly enough, it was only Britain's worst newspaper, The Daily Star, that raised a dissenting voice:-
