Lest we remember
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.No public exchange of rings, no "I do" before the altar, not a dress uniform or tiara in sight. No carriages, just a bus to transport the family guests and a car cheekily decorated with balloons for the Prince and his bride to drive away in. But above all, no kiss. These nuptials were scripted and choreographed in such a way as to silence any possible echo of that earlier royal wedding. There was not a single sequence, not a snippet of language that could be directly compared with the St Paul's extravaganza of 24 years ago. That took some doing. The show's producers deserve an Oscar and the rest of the champagne.
