Despite means "even though," "notwithstanding," or "regardless of." It's the opposite of
"because of/due to," and can be used with a noun or gerund.
In spite of
In spite of means exactly the same thing and is used exactly the same way as "despite."
The English terms despite and in spite of are synonyms. Despite might be a tiny bit more formal, but the two
terms are interchangeable. Just be careful not to say something like "despite of" or "in despite" - it's always
either the three words in spite of, or just the single word despite.
