Prince William and Kate Middleton have released an emotional statement on the tragic death of their loved one.
The Prince and Princess of Wales took to their official Instagram Story to share their heartfelt words on the tragic death of a brave cancer patient, who recently visited Kate Middleton at Windsor Castle.
Liz Heaton, who visited the Princess of Wales at the palace, died on Wednesday at the age of 17.
William and Kate wrote: “We are so sorry to hear that Liz Heaton has passed away. It was an honor to meet such a brave and humble young lady.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with Liz’s parents Vicki and Aaron and her brother Matteo at this unimaginably difficult time. W&C.”
Liz Heaton was diagnosed with an incurable desmoplastic small round cell tumor earlier this year.
She was over the moon after meeting Princess Catherine, who is focusing on staying cancer-free after completing chemotherapy treatment.
Hatton, a talented photographer, was invited by William and Kate to photograph an investiture at Windsor Castle. He even later enjoyed tea with the Prince and Princess of Wales.
