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: Your leader (2 September) and Michael Knowles's letter (2 September) were courageous in identifying where the buck stops in the search of the causes of Diana's death. Blame the unholy trinity of paparazzi, press and public as you wish, but it was ultimately the Royal "Family" who destroyed the Princess of Wales.
When middle-aged ladies queuing for eight hours to leave their personal tributes to Diana say to TV cameras, with evident contempt, that they wouldn't do this "for the rest of them", then the House of Windsor ought to be quaking. No wonder they hide at Balmoral.
