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 DUKE of Edinburgh is to chair a committee advising on the restoration of Windsor Castle. The announcement has been made by Peter Brooke, Secretary of State for National Heritage. The Prince of Wales will be deputy chairman.

The other members, whom Buckingham Palace describes as 'there as themselves' rather than as representatives of the bodies they represent, include Lord St John of Fawsley, chairman of the Royal Fine Art Commission, Jocelyn Stevens, chairman of English Heritage and Frank Duffy, the new president of the Royal Institute of British Architects. The first meeting will be held in a fortnight's time.
