Letter: Respect for Royal Family's grief
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: At last! John Campbell's letter of 4 September is a clear, common-sense change from the outpouring of faux misery which has, alas, cluttered the columns of your previously distinguished newspaper as well as the predatory, greedy and self-righteous tabloids.
You seem to be using this event to whip up a frenzy of tasteless public feeling against the monarchy. One of your reports ("Charles and Camilla forced to part", 4 September) suggests that The Prince of Wales "may be booed and hissed at [the] funeral". The power of suggestion is great. Shame on you all.
