Kate Middleton receives acclaim as a rare cancer trial begins following her critical move

 

Princess Catherine is recalled once more by the mother of renowned young photographer Liz Hatton, who died in November from a rare type of cancer.

Liz's mother, Vicky Robayna, explained that the Princess of Wales' kind gesture for her daughter helped generate funding, culminating in the start of a research initiative that would assist other families dealing with the desmoplastic small round cell tumor.

The future Queen and Prince William welcomed Liz to Windsor Castle in October 2024, where she not only met the pair but also photographed them at a royal function.

At the time, the Prince and Princess of Wales issued a personal statement that read: "It was a joy to meet with Liz at Windsor today. A gifted young photographer whose creativity and strength have impressed both of us. Thank you for sharing your photographs and stories with us. W&C."

The meaningful encounter drew attention to Liz's tale, and the mourning family earned £100,000 through the sale of her art and other fundraisers, which will be used to launch a research study on her ailment.

Vicky said during an interview with The Mirror: "We are thrilled - the research will help people in those terrifying early stages after diagnosis get the support and information they need so they can make the most of the time they have, which is all Liz wanted."

"Meeting the Prince and Princess of Wales raised awareness of Liz's story, cancer type, and photography. So, in many ways, they have made this possible, and we are quite thankful," Liz's mother said.

It is worth noting that Princess Kate herself was diagnosed with cancer in March 2024, following her planned abdominal surgery. The mother of three is presently in remission after receiving prophylactic chemotherapy.
