Your support helps us to tell the story
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.Sir: Amid the newspaper swiping at Edward Windsor ("Loss-making earl says UK hates success", 3 September), I have not heard of one word of appreciation for the superior quality of his documentary films. Nor have I met or heard - in two months in Britain - of anyone who has seen one of his films.
We have seen them on America's Public Television. They are admirable for scholarship, photography, and presentation. Edward Windsor's informal, graceful and informative commentary is giving American viewers an impression of a more human side of the Royal Family. Is not this a contribution to British-American amity and understanding?
And is it not possible that, since Britain has not seen the films, Edward Windsor is correct in his view (if that is really what he said), that Americans are more ready to accept new ideas?
