...and Hello! to divorce
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 Duchess of York appears in Hello! magazine almost as often as the contents page. The weekly bible of celebrity hagiography features regular updates on the Duchess's holiday, social and charity engagements.
Regular picture "exclusives" include reunions with Prince Andrew for their daughters' birthdays and specials on "The New Style Royals Finally Adjusting to Their Independent Roles".
But the real moneyspinner for the cash-strapped royal lies in cover stories for the magazine. Hello! refuses to discuss how much it pays for these, but pounds 200,000 is around the starting price for exclusive pictures and a heartwarming interview.
Even allowing for the saccharine standards of Hello! the Duchess somehow manages to "outmawk" its most mawkish offerings. Last month she re-emerged from under a pounds 3m mound of debt displaying a "stunning new look" in anaemic white-face makeup and heavy eye-liner.
