What is the difference between Geographical and National Geographic?

Geographical is the UK-based official magazine of the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG), published since 1935 and independently owned. National Geographic is US-based and majority owned by The Walt Disney Company. Both explore the world, but they differ in ownership, depth of coverage and intended audience.
