Kate and William paid tribute this Thursday to Liz Hatton, a 17-year-old girl who died on Wednesday from a rare and incurable cancer. The Princess of Wales, who is being treated for cancer this year, met the young woman in October and had been moved for his destiny.
“We are very sorry to learn of the death of Liz Hatton,” we can read in the press release from the princely couple, published on social networks. “It is an honor to have been able to meet such a brave and humble young woman.”
“We send our thoughts and prayers to Liz’s parents, Vicky and Aaron, and her brother Mateo during this incredibly difficult time,” Kate and William said in their statement.
rare form of cancer
Liz Hatton suffered from desmoplastic small cell tumour, a rare form of cancer, which she was diagnosed with in January in her ovaries and liver. This very aggressive and incurable cancer condemned her in the short term.
The young woman had documented her fight against the disease with photographs. He met the Princess of Wales last October during one of his first royal engagements since the end of chemotherapy.
The emotional meeting between the two women was praised by Kate Middleton in X. The princess said she had been “inspired” by the young photographer’s “creativity and strength.”
