During the meeting, Liz had the opportunity to share her cancer journey with the Prince and Princess of Wales. As a budding photographer, Liz had also expressed a wish to take photos of honorees at an awards ceremony. The palace shared some of Liz’s photographs on the Royal couple’s official Instagram account, which boasts millions of followers. The post featured a touching image of the Princess sharing a warm embrace with Liz and her family, accompanied by a heartfelt caption: “Her creativity and strength has inspired us both. Thank you for sharing your photos and story with us.” The caption was signed “W & C,” reflecting the personal touch of the Prince and Princess.
Liz, speaking on BBC Radio, described the royal couple as incredibly down-to-earth and compassionate. “There was no sort of grandeur about them, there was just humanity and kindness,” she shared. The touching encounter has drawn parallels to the late Princess Diana, renowned for her empathy and connection with individuals battling cancer and HIV/AIDS.
Royal commentator, [Commentator’s Name], remarked, “Seeing Kate with Liz, sharing that lovely, natural, warm embrace, really does remind us of Diana. But it’s also really a sign of the times and how the Royal Family has changed.”
According to palace sources, Prince William learned about Liz’s story through his work with a London air ambulance charity. The Prince has been deeply involved with the organization, even lightheartedly joking about his involvement during a recent event with David Beckham in support of the rescue service.
