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 Princess of Wales hosted her fourth annual Together at Christmas event at Westminster Abbey earlier this month.
Joined by a host of stars, volunteers and members of her family, Kate’s event was dedicated to those who have shown love, kindness and empathy to others in their communities.
The service, held on December 6, will be broadcast as part of the programme Royal Carols: Together At Christmas, on ITV1 and ITVX on Christmas Eve.
The evening of carols featured performances by Paloma Faith, Olivia Dean and jazz singer Gregory Porter, while actor Richard E Grant recited a passage from Charles Dickens’s classic festive story A Christmas Carol, while Downton Abbey star Michelle Dockery read some of her personal reflections.
Kate recorded a voiceover for the start of the programme, reading extracts from a letter she wrote about love and empathy that was included with the event’s order of service.
