INTERNEWSTIMES.COM – In a heartwarming display of compassion and shared experience, Princess Catherine of Wales met with 16-year-old Liz Hatton, a budding photographer battling terminal cancer. The encounter, which took place at Windsor Castle on Wednesday, was a testament to the shared strength and resilience of both women as they navigate their own journeys with the disease.
Hatton, diagnosed with the extremely rare desmoplastic small round cell tumor earlier this year, was given a prognosis of only six months to three years to live. The news came just weeks after Princess Kate revealed that she had completed chemotherapy following a cancer diagnosis in January.
The Princess, an avid amateur photographer herself, was inspired by Hatton’s story and her “photography bucket list,” which her mother, Vicky Robayna, shared on social media in May. The list included capturing iconic events like London Fashion Week and major music festivals.
Prince William, who learned about Hatton through his support of London’s Air Ambulance Charity, arranged for the teenager to help document a private royal award ceremony. Hatton and her family joined the royal couple at Windsor Castle for the event, where they shared photos and a heartfelt embrace.
The meeting served as a powerful reminder of the shared human experience and the importance of support and inspiration during challenging times. Hatton’s courage and determination, coupled with Princess Kate’s own journey with cancer, created a bond of understanding and empathy that touched the hearts of many. (Red)
