Kate Middleton Hosts Teen Photographer at Windsor Castle

Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, recently hosted 16-year-old Liz Hatton at Windsor Castle, fulfilling a part of Hatton's photography bucket list amid her battle with a rare and aggressive cancer. Hatton, diagnosed with desmoplastic small round cell tumor, was invited as a surprise to photograph a royal investiture and was warmly embraced by Kate, who has also been recovering from her own cancer treatment. The meeting was arranged after Prince William learned of Hatton's wishes through a social media post by her mother, aiming to create lasting memories for her daughter. Kate and William praised Hatton's talent and courage on social media, and the meeting has been described as genuine and heartfelt by Hatton and her family. This encounter marks one of Kate's first public appearances since completing chemotherapy, as she gradually returns to royal duties. The royal couple's gesture has been celebrated for its compassion and support towards Hatton's aspirations as a budding photographer.
