    It's wonderful to see the Princess of Wales meeting with Liz, 16, who was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year. Liz was invited to take photos at an investiture event at Windsor Castle, helping her cross an item off her bucket list 📷 Read more:
    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

    Our thoughts are with the Princess of Wales and her family following the news of her diagnosis. As she says: “For everyone facing this disease, in whatever form, please do not lose faith or hope. You are not alone.” To everyone facing cancer, you are not alone.
    A message from Catherine, The Princess of Wales

    Fantastic to see financial costs for young cancer patients recognised in Scotland. We know #CancerCosts around £600 extra pm. The Young Patients Family Fund is a great support for those in Scotland and should be replicated elsewhere. @NicolaSturgeon 👏 heraldscotland.com/news/19207955.…

    "I wanted to shave my head so that my girlfriend wouldn't feel like the odd one out, and so I could show my support. I know that children can get bullied for having no hair and I didn't want that to happen." James, aged 10. YOU ROCK! 😍

    Sachin, 18, was diagnosed with cancer during his A Levels. After juggling chemo, surgery, a pandemic and studies, here’s the moment Sachin received his results! He’s now off to study Maths at St Andrew’s. Whatever your results, be proud of everything you achieve. #ResultsDay2021

    We've just heard from Talisa...she got an A* in biology AND geography for her A-Level results! She's over the moon and is planning to apply to study dentistry next year. She's celebrating with cake and her family in hospital. Join us in saying a huge congrats! #alevelresults2019
    “I’ll be happy with whatever results I get. I’m proud I did them.” Talisa, 18, took her exams during treatment with the help of her school, hospital and CLIC Sargent. bit.ly/2OVXk9y Good luck to Talisa and everyone getting A Level results today! #alevelresults2019

    Cancer costs more than you might think. In the last 12 months, 4,450 young cancer patients and their families have spent around £5 million travelling for treatment. Donate this #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth to help more families with their travel costs: bit.ly/2LioEcP

    Liz was a talented photographer who managed to capture incredibly unique moments. Thank you for giving her the opportunity to tick 'photographing a Royal' off her bucket list by inviting her to Windsor Castle. Our thoughts are with her family and friends💗
