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.

A new photo suggests that a baby Prince William will make his debut on The Crown soon.

The image, published by ET Canada, appears to show the cast recreating Princess Diana and Prince Charles's 1983 tour of Australia and New Zealand, during which they brought their nine-month-old firstborn.

In the photo, which was taken on set in Spain according to the website, the baby can be seen being carried onto the plane, with his parents at his side.

Emma Corrin will play Diana in season four of The Crown, while Josh O'Connor will reprise his role as Charles after being introduced in season three.

The historical drama's third season premiered on Netflix on 17 November.

It introduces Olivia Colman as Queen Elizabeth II. Colman took over as the monarch after she was portrayed by Claire Foy in the first two seasons.

A new photo taken on set suggests that Foy could return to The Crown in a flashback scene.

Prince Philip, meanwhile, was originally portrayed by Matt Smith and is now played by Tobias Menzies.

The change in cast is meant to reflect the passage of time as the series moves on from the Queen's earlier reign to the Sixties and Seventies.

Helena Bonham Carter has joined as Princess Margaret and Gillian Anderson will appear as Margaret Thatcher in season four.
