Catherine, Princess of Wales helped make Liz Hatton the "happiest" she had ever been during the last two months of her life.
The aspiring photographer passed away in November at the age of just 17 following a battle with a rare and aggressive form of cancer but had managed to live out her dreams when her initial meeting with the Prince and Princess of Wales allowed her to photograph celebrities on the red carpet, and now her mother has thanked the royal couple for how they brought her daughter to prominence.
