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.

'(Princess Diana), stripped of the royal apparatus, will by her person remain, wherever she goes and whatever her fate, a living reproach to Charles. Even if, and this, his entourage says, is an intention which is becoming more and more certain, she finds herself the divorced wife of the heir to the throne. He would do well to remember that the great of this world, however powerful, are constantly faced with the unspoken question of those who (for an instant) bend their knee before them: 'Who made you King?' '

'All the Church is doing in raising these matters publicly is drawing yet more attention to the supposed moral failings of the Queen's heir without finding any solution. And is there really any problem? . . . All of this would, of course, be irrelevant and remote as far as Australia is concerned except for the fact that Prince Charles, if he becomes King, will be our next head of state. That is, unless we become a republic before the coronation of this alleged adulterer.'
