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.

Prince Edward has become the first member of the Royal Family to lodge an official complaint based on new privacy guidelines banning long-lens photography. He has asked the Press Complaints Commission to investigate pictures published by the Daily Mirror, Daily Express, Today and Sun newspapers, which showed the prince and Sophie Rhys Jones flying kites at the Queen's Craigowan Lodge retreat in Scotland.

Buckingham Palace is believed to have objected to the pictures on the basis that they were taken on private property without consent. The PCC is expected to adjudicate on the complaint within the next fortnight.
