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.

Born in 1926, married in 1947, crowned as Queen in 1953, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has carried out her duty for more than six decades.

Taschen has pulled together a photographic collection of her public and private life, spanning the early years right through to her most recent state tours and ceremonies.

Big moments from World War II; her marriage, motherhood, and coronation feature throughout, including her encounters with icons such as the Beatles, Marilyn Monroe, and JFK.

The book showcases the work of top photographers such as Cecil Beaton, Studio Lisa, Dorothy Wilding, David Bailey, Wolfgang Tillmans, Rankin and Annie Leibovitz.
