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.The Trooping the Colour is set to take place at Buckingham Palace today (15 June), in honour of King Charles III’s birthday.
The event will also mark the Princess of Wales’ first public appearance since announcing she was undergoing cancer treatment in March.
After uncertainty about whether she would be well enough, she last night confirmed in a heartfelt letter to the public that she would join other senior royals.
Her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, are also expected to be in attendance.
Trooping the Colour marks King Charles III’s official birthday parade - his second since taking to the throne.
King Charles III’s actual birthday is 14 November, but monarchs usually have a second ‘birthday’ in the summer months, marked by the occasion.
Over 1400 officers and men, two hundred horses and the Massed Bands of the Household Division will be taking part.
