Letter: Against newspaper lampooning of royalty
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.Sir: Am I the only Independent reader confused by your stance on royal reporting? It is clearly sensible to report the current events involving members of the Royal Family in 'appropriate' detail and in balance with items of 'real' news. To devote approximately one third of your front page (25 August) to a desperately unfunny cartoon aimed at the Princess of Wales is not appropriate and does not reflect well on your editorial policy.
Yours faithfully,
