From all of us at The Sun… get well soon, Kate – Britain’s rooting for you
We hope the trolls who continued their vile behaviour hang their heads in shame today
Kate’s courage
OUR hearts go out to Kate, as well as to William, to George, Charlotte, Louis and to the rest of her wider family.
What a devastating diagnosis for a mother of three young kids.

But what courage she has shown in making last night’s moving video and opening up about her cancer.
The Princess will have all her family’s love, and the nation’s, as she continues her chemotherapy.
And we have no doubt she will inspire many like her fighting the disease.
William too has displayed remarkable fortitude over the last month, stoically carrying out his duties with barely a trace of the stress of having both his wife and father hit by cancer at once.

It is hugely comforting to hear Kate say she is getting stronger each day.
And perhaps the world will now appreciate why so much secrecy surrounded her surgery in January and its aftermath.
Initially she tested negative for cancer — and the Palace rightly made that public. Further tests came back positive.
That was kept private to protect her children, to allow them time to fully grasp what was going on and that mum would be OK. Who can argue with that?

A fortnight ago, The Sun urged all those spreading baseless conspiracy theories about the Princess to lay off.
We hope the trolls who continued their vile behaviour hang their heads in shame today.
From all of us at The Sun . . . get well soon, Kate. Britain’s rooting for you.
Kate Middleton has been terribly bullied but that wasn't why she revealed she has cancer
No likey, Nike
WHAT even IS the design Nike have stamped on England’s football shirts?
The multi-coloured shape is not remotely recognisable as the St George’s flag or indeed any flag.
It’s a red, blue and purple doodle — meaningless and signifying nothing.
Why do it? Is it “progressive” now to randomly change a nation’s colours?
Nike is congratulating itself that its meddling was a “playful update” which “disrupts history”. What is the earthly point of that?
Shall we playfully have a new French tricolour of pink, green and yellow?
Perhaps a German flag of mauve, white and orange?
This absurdity separates the Left — who love to sneer at anyone vaguely patriotic (unless it’s for almost any foreign country) — and millions of us who ARE proud of England, and Britain, and want our teams to wear colours that mean something to us.
The FA has scored a howler of an own-goal when even infamous Labour flag-sneerer Emily Thornberry joins the backlash, along with both Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer. Not to mention Gareth Southgate.

Nike should think again. And while they’re at it, they can cut by two-thirds those shirts’ obscene prices.
They’re an insult to fans, just as that idiotic dayglo emblem is to England.
