From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The first trailer for the Kristen Stewart starring Princess Diana biopic has been released.
Entitled Spencer, the film will depict the late royal during 1991 as she was about to end her marriage to Prince Charles.
The trailer shows Diana locking herself away in a bathroom and there is also a montage that portrays her being chased by paparazzi photographers.
There are only five words of dialogue in the teaser. Diana is told “They know everything.” to which she replies “They don’t.”
As well as starring Stewart as the Princess of Wales, Spencer also features Jack Farthing as Prince Charles and Amy Manson as Anne Boleyn, who was beheaded in the sixteenth century. Sean Harris and Timothy Spall also have unconfirmed roles in the film.
Directed by Pablo Larrain, Spencer receives its world premiere next week at the Venice Film Festival. It is then scheduled to be released on 5 November.
Stewart has previously stated that she feels “protective” of playing Diana and felt “connected” to her. The former Twilight star also revealed that the film will take place over only three days.

She has also called doing a British accent “intimidating” and worked with a dialect coach to perfect Diana’s easily identifiable voice.
