Deborah James' mum says Prince William was 'like a son' in BowelBabe's final weeks

Heather James detailed the heart-warming moment that Prince William arrived to give her daughter Deborah her prestigious Damehood just over a year ago.

Speaking on Loose Women, Thursday, Heather explained that the family only found out the day before that the Prince of Wales would be visiting Deborah's house to meet her and enjoy afternoon tea with her nearest and dearest.

The 65-year-old said: "We thought, 'What will be, will be.' We threw blankets over the tired sofas and he walked in, and Deborah and I thought, 'How do you address him?' That was taken away from us because it was, 'Hello, I'm William' and it was just like having another son, son-in-law with us."
