Family prayers for Diana
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.THE two families of Diana, Princess of Wales, are to mark the first anniversary of her death with prayers - privately and separately.
Her sons, the Princes William and Harry, will be with the Queen, their father and grandfather at a private family prayer service at Crathie Church, Balmoral, while on the same day, 31 August, Diana's brother and sisters will hold a private memorial service 400 miles away on the banks of the lake at their ancestral home, Althorp.
n Sir Elton John was honoured by the music industry for his tribute song to the Princess, Candle in the Wind 1997, which was the biggest selling single of all time. He was presented with a Silver Ivor trophy along with his co-writer, the lyricist Bernie Taupin at the Ivor Novello awards yesterday.
