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.

Filming continues on the third season of The Crown, with the latest leaked images showing an iconic royal moment being recreated.

Olivia Colman (Queen Elizabeth II), Josh O’Connor (Prince Charles) and Tobias Menzies (Prince Philip) have been pictured filming the investiture of Charles as Prince of Wales.

The moment – which sees all three looking dapper in their characters’ formal clothing – was being filmed at Caernarfon Castle in Gwynedd, Wales.

Colman replaces Claire Foy as Queen Elizabeth II for the third season, while Menzies steps in for Matt Smith. Helena Bonham Carter succeeds Vanessa Kirby as Princess Margaret.

Other cast members include Jason Watkins as Prime Minister Harold Wilson, Marion Bailey as the Queen Mother, Erin Doherty as Princess Anne, and Emerald Fennell as Camilla Parker Bowles.

The upcoming third season currently has no release date but is expected to launch on Netflix next year. Read everything we know about the series here.
