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.Parliamentary officials were scouring records today to see whether the Commons and the Lords would need to approve the marriage of the Prince of Wales and Camilla Parker Bowles.
If the election is to be held on 5 May, Parliament would be expected to pro-rogue - close down - on 8 April.
If an Act of Parliament is needed, it is unlikely to be unopposed, with MPs taking the opportunity to raise issues such as the future of the monarchy, laws of succession and the disestablishment of the Church of England.
With possibly only a few weeks left of the parliamentary timetable before the expected election, other legislation may be scuppered by the need to push the Bill through.
But so far neither the Cabinet Office nor the Department for Constitutional Affairs could confirm the extent of Parliament's role.
