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.Fry tweeted that he's "very very happy" to be getting married to Spencer, but his public profile has been pretty low - until now.
He's famous for being 57-year-old Stephen Fry's soon-to-be husband, but Elliott Spencer, 27, needn't lurk in the shadows.
The comedian and writer from Swanwick, Hampshire, is a culture buff, and tweeted from the Hobbit premiere, a Morrissey gig, the Constable exhibition at the Victoria & Albert and a Chopin recital.
His Twitter feed also attests to a healthy gym habit.
Hi mother Melinda, 52, and property-developer father Robert, 57, are "over the moon" at the prospect of actor Fry joining the family.
The relationship has its downsides, though.
Spencer has since been banned from driving after speeding at 101 miles per hour in a £130,000 Aston Martin when Fry was late for the Hay Festival last year. Fry told Spencer to "get a move on", a court heard on Wednesday.
