Princess Kate, who is preparing to perform her much anticipated Christmas carol, has heard devastating news about someone who has touched her heart.
Liz Hatton, an amazing child who met the Princess of Wales at the Palace, has died at the age of 17 following a months-long struggle with cancer.
Hatton's death devastated Princess Kate and her loved ones. She passed away on Wednesday at her home in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.
The young girl was diagnosed with an incurable desmoplastic small round cell tumor earlier this year. She was ecstatic after meeting with Princess Catherine, who is determined to remain cancer-free after completing her chemotherapy treatment.
Liz Hatton was a brilliant photographer. She created an inspirational "bucket list" of tasks to achieve in the final months of her life, which drew the attention of Princess Catherine.
Prince William and Kate Middleton invited her to Windsor Castle to shoot the Prince of Wales' investiture ceremony. She even had tea with the Prince and Princess of Wales later.
Kate is seen in the snap giving Hatton an emotional hug as the two discuss their mutual passion of photography. The young girl did not wish to be defined by her condition.
