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.

VATICAN CITY (Reuter) - The Vatican has granted an annulment to Princess Caroline of Monaco of her 1978 marriage to Phillippe Junot.

The Vatican chief spokesman, Joaquin Navarro-Valls, said yesterday a papal tribunal had granted the annulment in February and a second commission had confirmed it. Princess Caroline is free to marry again within the Church, as it never recognised her subsequent civil marriage to the Italian Stefano Casiraghi, killed in a powerboat race in 1990.
