LETTER : Royal Family fails nation in its grief
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.Sir: Diana was royal by marriage. That marriage was squashed emotionally by the future King, and terminated formally at the insistence of the present Queen; Diana herself has been comprehensively ridiculed by the Palace establishment - the Enemy.
It passes my understanding why the Palace is in any way involved with arrangements for her funeral. The family, including her sons, could be supported quite well by the Prime Minister and his staff at 10 Downing Street, representing her constituency - ordinary people.
