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.

Three recent news stories concerning the late Princess of Wales that did not make it to the front pages.

Hong Kong "I should be the Queen" is one of the songs on a CD launched by a Hong Kong composer in tribute to Princess Diana. The song, written before her death, includes the lyric: "My princely husband never did love me, this hapless marriage is crowded with three."

Netherlands A song entitled "Farewell" will be released this week by a leading Dutch singer, Andre Hazes, in memory of Diana. It includes the lines: "You are now gone, it is over. This is the end, it is finished." Proceeds will be donated to Aids organisations.

Spain Three days after Diana's death, a Spanish car junkyard offered 100m pesetas (pounds 400,000) for the wreck of the Mercedes in which she was killed. "Right now, perhaps, the family wouldn't sell it, but they might not feel the same in a few months' time," the junkyard owner said.
