“A pleasure to meet with Liz at Windsor today. A talented young photographer whose creativity and strength has inspired us both. Thank you for sharing your photos and story with us. W&C,” the caption read. In response to the post, Liz reshared the image on her Instagram Story and wrote: “Such a lovely, genuine and kind people, I’m over the moon that my family and I had this experience.” Liz, who is trying to take part in as many photography experiences as she can, was invited to Windsor Castle to take photos and to learn about the photos that are taken throughout the event. Having learned about Liz through his patronage of the London Air Ambulance Charity, Prince William, alongside Princess Catherine, met with Liz and her family in a private setting after the ceremony to listen to her experiences and the story of her journey.

“Despite all that has gone before, I enter this new phase of recovery with a renewed sense of hope and appreciation of life. William and I are so grateful for the support we have received and have drawn great strength from all those who are helping us at this time. “Everyone’s kindness, empathy and compassion has been truly humbling. To all those who are continuing their own cancer journey – I remain with you, side by side, hand in hand. Out of darkness, can come light, so let that light shine bright.”Story SavedYou can find this story in  My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
