Britain's largest selling newspaper, with sales in the early 1990s approaching 5 million each Sunday. Launched in 1843 by John Browne Bell, it soon came to specialize in the themes which have kept it popular – crime, sport and scandal (the latter nowadays connected as often as possible, and however remotely, with the royal family). The paper was bought in 1969 by Rupert Murdoch.
