LETTER : Royalty unites us as democracy never can
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.I support your assertion that our head of state ought to be elected and accountable. Is it right that the monarchy should be entitled to the income from the Crown Estates? It was our fathers and forefathers that fought and died for the freedom of this land. Should not the Crown Estates be the inheritance of the British people, rather than the inheritance of just one family?
