Deborah James details emotional meeting with Prince William as he awarded her damehood

BBC presenter Deborah James admitted she could have spoken to Prince William 'all afternoon' during a 'charming' meeting after he presented her with a Damehood at her parents' home in Surrey.

Mother of two Deborah, who is receiving end of life care amid her battle with stage four bowel cancer, has raised a staggering £5.3 million for Cancer Research UK in just five days since posting a 'farewell' message on Instagram.

The 40-year old aimed to raise £250,000, but has smashed that total 20 times over in such a short space of time.
