Prince and the Church
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 Prince of Wales wants to end the monarch's 450-year-old role as head of the Church of England and believes the Church should be disestablished because Britain is now a multi-faith society, according to a report in the Sunday Times.
'I happen to believe that the Catholic subjects of the sovereign are as important (as Protestants), not to mention the Islamic, Hindu and Zoroastrian,' he is quoted as saying in the ITV interview to be broadcast this week.
Although he did not specifically mention disestablishing the Church in the interview, the paper said it was clear from comments made to friends that that is what he favours.
