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.

Watch a view of the High Court in London ahead of Prince Harry’s lawsuit against a newspaper group he accuses of extensive unlawful behaviour.

The Duke of Sussex is headed for a courtroom showdown this week with the publisher of the Daily Mirror and is scheduled to testify in the High Court after his lawyer presents opening statements on Monday 5 June.

Harry is expected to describe his anguish and anger over being hounded by the media throughout his life, and its impact on those around him.

The royal has blamed paparazzi for causing the car crash that killed his mother, the late Princess Diana, and said harassment and intrusion by the UK press - including allegedly racist articles - ultimately led him and his wife, Meghan, to flee to the US in 2020 and leave royal life behind.
