Details from Kate Middleton’s conversation with cаոсer patient Liz Hutton,
Liz Hatton, a 17-year-old cаոсer survivor who made headlines last week for her hug with Kate Middleton, is reflecting on her experience with royalty, the «crazy» week that followed, and what she and the Princess of Wales discussed.
Hatton, who was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cаոсer , desmoplastic small round cell tumor, in January and was given between six months and three years to live, traveled to Windsor Castle on Wednesday, Oct. 2, after being invited to photograph an investiture ceremony as part of her «photography bucket list.»
The same day, Princess Kate and Prince William’s team stated that they had met with the adolescent photographer from Harrogate, England, and shared images of the meeting, which included an embrace between Hatton and the Princess of Wales.
And now, in a new interview, the youngster and her family are reflecting on their meeting with the royal couple, which Hatton characterized as «crazy» and «insane» this week.
Hatton told the publication that when she was requested to shoot the investiture, she, her mother Vicky Robayna, and her stepfather Aaron didn’t expect to see Prince William and Princess Kate, but they were eventually allowed to a private room.
However, according to The Times, the teen’s eight-year-old brother Mateo informed his mother ahead of time that he «knew» he would meet Prince William.
«When we arrived, we were told the prince would say a quick hello. So I assumed you’d say, ‘Hi’, and that would be it,» Hatton told the outlet.
But then we were sitting in the small space on the sofa, and they just walked in, and we were like, ‘Oh!’ I felt extremely flattered.
The girl stated that the couple made her feel welcome and even revealed the topics of her chat with Princess Kate, which were photography and different types of lenses, rather than her cancer or Kate’s recent chemotherapy.
Following their meeting with the teenage photographer, Prince William and Princess Kate wrote on social media that it was a «pleasure to meet with Liz at Windsor,» describing her as a «talented young photographer whose creativity and strength has inspired us both» and thanking her for «sharing your photos and story with us.»
