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.

On 9 April 2005, Prince Charles finally married his long-term partner Camilla Parker-Bowles.

The wedding of Britain's next king was held at Windsor Guild Hall, with his son Prince William as witness and various other royals in attendance, before a church blessing at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.

Crowds lined the route that morning, though the union was not without controversy: Parker-Bowles was blamed by some for the breakup of Charles' first marriage to Diana.
