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.THE official Buckingham Palace website was visited more than 100 million times in its first year, making it one of the most popular sites world-wide on the Internet.
There were 35 million visits to the royal website during the week of Diana, Princess of Wales's funeral and 600,000 people sent electronic messages of condolence.
During its first 12 months, the website - www.royal.gov.uk - has been expanded from its initial 150 pages to more than 400, including many pictures.
Plans are now being developed to launch an electronic picture gallery on the Internet to display works of art in the Royal Collection.
The palace website is most popular in the United Kingdom and also in North America, Europe, the Far East and South America, notably in Brazil.
E-mailers are continuing to send messages of sympathy to Prince William and Prince Harry, writing about their personal reaction to their mother's death and also asking after the teenage princes' welfare.
