The news about Kate was released 16 hours ago.

Let's take a stroll through all the ways the Express have trolled Meghan and Harry since the announcement was made...

(Long tweet. Please expand. Thanks.)

REMINDER: The ONLY thing Harry and Meghan have done since Kate's bombshell is put out the following supportive statement: "We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace."

NOTE: All the articles linked below were either written or updated AFTER Kate's news broke.

---------

1) Articles shoe-horning attacks on the couple into news about Kate's illness

Headline: "Prince Harry and Meghan blasted for 'pushing own agenda' after Princess Kate's cancer news"
Article: "But the PR expert added the Sussex couple's 'wish for privacy' is a 'nuanced addition' as it could be seen as a 'subtle promotion of their longstanding battle for personal privacy'."


Headline: "Royal Family LIVE: Prince Harry and Meghan had ‘no idea’ about Princess Kate’s cancer"
Article: "Meanwhile, a source told the New York Post Harry and Meghan 'had no idea' about Kate's cancer and "only learned of the news around the same time the rest of the world found out. This goes to show the irreparable damage they have caused.'"


Headline: "Princess Kate branded 'a bright light in troubling world' as Harry and Meghan send wishes"
Article: "Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were cautioned that this is 'not a moment for anyone to seek notoriety' as Princess Kate undergoes preventative chemotherapy for her undisclosed form of cancer."


Headline: "Prince Harry and Meghan Markle break silence after Princess Kate's shock cancer diagnosis"
Article: "Prince Harry and Meghan's reaction to the news came in the shortest of statements and was not always guaranteed given nothing was publicly said when King Charles's cancer diagnosis was announced in February."


Headline: "Kate's love shone through in video - in contrast to the hatefilled bile of her critics"
Article: "Just as nasty are Harry and Meghan’s deranged supporters, whose humanity has been obliterated by their partisan hatred of the House of Windsor."


Headline: "Princess Kate's uncle Gary Goldsmith issues apology for ill-timed tell all chat on niece"
Article: "'I’ve got more chance of making it onto the Palace balcony than [Andrew] has. And then you’ve got Harry. F*** me! He and that woman are chasing the American corporate dollar and that is so, so ugly. William, Harry and Kate were such a happy little trio and it got totally ruined.'"


Headline: "Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's rare public outing one night before Kate's cancer news"
Article: "It is not known if the royal couple had any knowledge of Kate's diagnosis when they attended the event."


Headline: "Meghan Markle's mouthpiece tries to defend ‘disgusting’ Princess Kate alarm clock post"


Headline: "Should Prince Harry return to royal duties amid Princess Kate's cancer diagnosis? Vote now"


2) General attack articles of the type the Express publishes every day of the year

Headline: "Prince Harry is ‘drifting away from Royal Family' despite his attempts at reconciliation"


Headline: "Prince Harry's future with the Royal Family rests on three key factors"


Headline: "Donald Trump just 'flexing his muscles' by issuing 'empty threat' to Prince Harry"


Headline: "Prince Harry's memoir should 'read like a novel' as it contains 'more fiction than facts'"


3) Articles digging up past things Meghan supposedly did wrong

Headline: "Meghan Markle’s surprising seven-word remark about Princess Kate’s royal wedding"
Article: "During the celebrated occasion, Meghan Markle, who had not yet met her future husband, Prince Harry, shared a polarising seven-word remark about the royal wedding between William and Kate on her lifestyle blog, the Tig."


4) General articles designed to fool Express readers into believing that Meghan is busy seeking attention (whereas in fact she's done NOTHING since the cancer news broke except send the brief joint statement with Harry).

Headline: "Tell-tale sign Meghan Markle has been preparing to launch lifestyle brand for years"


Headline: "Meghan Markle's simple three-word call to agent after Suits audition that changed her life"
