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.

No, you haven't stepped back in time. This really is our Royal family on tour, looking every inch aristos of yesteryear on a tour of "the colonies".

Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall are on a Pacific tour, which has so far seen Charles speak Tok Pisin – a form of Pidgin English combining English and creole – in Papua New Guinea and Camilla pet a wallaby.

To keep up the royal stereotypes, they will watch horse racing with Mischa Barton and local star Delta Goodrem.
