Duchess of Cambridge’s joy at Sheffield baby bank visit – The Yorkshire Post says

Their empathy and sympathy – whether it be their participation in online events or a select number of public engagements – continues to provide great pleasure, and reassurance, in uniquely unusual times.

And just as Duke of Cambridge exhibits the very best qualities of his late mother, the Duchess, too, is continuing a fine family tradition.

In a personal letter this week to mark the 150th anniversary of the British Red Cross, she recalled the past service of her great grandmother and grandmother before telling the charity: “You have all been doing an inspiring job supporting vulnerable people.” They’re also words that apply to the Duchess of Cambridge – even more so after, once again, capturing the hearts of this county.

Editor’s note: first and foremost - and rarely have I written down these words with more sincerity - I hope this finds you well.

Almost certainly you are here because you value the quality and the integrity of the journalism produced by The Yorkshire Post’s journalists - almost all of which live alongside you in Yorkshire, spending the wages they earn with Yorkshire businesses - who last year took this title to the industry watchdog’s Most Trusted Newspaper in Britain accolade.
