Letter: The press has slipped on the Royal soap
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.MANY people now think it uncivilised to hunt animals. Not so many, it seems, feel like that about hunting human beings. Baying joyfully - with many a loud Halloo from Lynn Barber - they go roaring after members of the Royal Family. Their quarry doesn't seem to have done anything very dreadful, so it must be just for sheer love of the sport.
But when they are triumphantly in at the death, they may regret it. The victims (to change the metaphor) may have been more geese than swans, but they laid a great many golden eggs for the media.
