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.

However, Mr Brooks- Baker should have pointed out that while the prince is indeed distantly descended from the sister of Britain's King James II, who lost his throne in 1688, he is also the grandson of Bavaria's Ludwig III, who did not lose his until 1918. Before Prince Albrecht pursues his claim in Britain, he will surely hope to be restored in his native kingdom.
Unfortunately it is likely to be a vain hope. Although 68 per cent of Bavarians said in an opinion poll they would like their monarchy to be restored, the German constitution forbids them from campaigning for this.
