Princess Kate return has ‘sad’ element as she releases joint statement with Prince William

Kate, 42, took to social media to share the images yesterday alongside a joint statement with William.

Speaking on the People’s Channel, Lewis Oakley said that while Kate’s return to royal duties is positive news, her meeting with the young girl was a “sad” occasion.

“It’s a really nice story”, Oakley said on GB News.

“It’s beautiful. She is back at work but it is slightly sad as this poor girl has been given between six months and three years to live.

“But she has been able to go and take these pictures and meet Kate. Prince William was really inspired by her story.

“I think we can expect them to see more of this sort of work, profiling the great work people are doing in that cancer space.”

Suzan Holder added: “It came about because Prince William got to know this girl’s story through the Air Ambulance, which of course he is very attached to.

“But it is a heartbreaking story in many ways. It is great to see Kate back at work.”

In a joint statement, the Wales’s said: "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 heartwarming image of Kate, William and sixteen-year-old ‘Liz’ was posted to the couple’s official Instagram page.

Kate is beginning to take up some royal duties once more after revealing she had completed her chemotherapy.

The princess revealed she had completed her treatment last month as she set out hopes to appear at a handful of engagements before the year comes to a close.

The official Court Circular, which lists all royal engagements, read: "The Princess of Wales, Joint Patron, The Royal Foundation of The Prince and Princess of Wales, this afternoon held an Early Years Meeting at Windsor Castle."
