Kate Middleton receives heartbreaking news after fulfilling special wish of sweet fan
Kate Middleton received a sad news of passing of Liz Hatton, the 17-year-old cancer patient she recently met at Windsor Castle.
The teen breathed her last in the early hours of Wednesday at her home in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, after an “unbelievably brave” battle with an incurable desmoplastic small round cell tumour.
According to reports, Hatton died peacefully at her home less than a year after being diagnosed with the rare and aggressive form of cancer.
This comes after Hatton put together a bucket list of photography assignments she wanted to complete in the final months of her life.
It caught the attention of Prince William and Kate, who extended an invitation to her to photograph an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle, hosted by the Prince of Wales.
As a surprise, Kate and William also asked her to join them for tea afterwards. To add to it, Kate also shared a emotional hug with Hatton, a photo of which also went viral.
Speaking with The Mail, Hatton’s mother, Vicky Robayna, said, “Our lovely Liz died in the early hours of this morning. She remained determined to her last.”
“Even yesterday she was telling me that I had better get nurses sorted so she could do more things. She went out in a blaze of glory with almost everyone she cared out seeing her for the last time at her exhibition last week.
“I could not be prouder of her. She has faced every day with unbelievable bravery. And now it’s our turn to do her proud and give her brother the life she expects us to.
“She was never scared of dying but she was terrified of leaving him behind. It’s our job to make that a little easier for her.”
