It is about the royal family having a dispute about each other and how they tried to fix it, it may appeal to them because the royal family is something in Britain and is quite a big subject so it will appeal to them by talking about what they like.

The news about the royal family is very dominant on the print meaning that the whole newspaper seems to only be on the royal family, but there is one about a person "sri lanka tourist being warned for more terror", The Times may have picked this as it is still news and their newspaper isn't only about entertainment, so they need to include somethings that has happened currently otherwise would be said that they aren't a good news source
