Kate Middleton made dreams of teen photographer Liz Hatton come true before she died
A talented photographer who ended up shooting celebrities and models after sharing a hug with the Princess of Wales loved life until the end, her mum says.
Liz Hatton, 17, who lost a 10-month cancer battle last week, touched hearts when she was pictured with Kate at Windsor Castle in October.
The meeting led to a string of once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for Liz, including snapping celebs on the red carpet at the Royal Variety Show and joining acclaimed photographer Rankin to lead a fashion shoot.
Speaking publicly for the first time since losing her girl, Victoria Robayna, 43, said “Liz was still independent and loving life until the very end, which is exactly how she would have chosen it to be. We could not have asked for it to have been a better way for Liz.”
The family met the Prince and Princess of Wales when Liz was invited to Windsor to take pictures at an investiture ceremony William was holding.
Victoria said: “All any parent wants is for their child’s dreams to come true, and the Prince and Princess of Wales were a big part in making that happen.”
