Princess Catherine has surprised royal watchers today by sharing photos of a private meeting at Windsor Castle.

Kate, 42, and her husband the Prince of Wales met an aspiring teenage photographer with a rare and aggressive form of cancer after inviting her to take pictures at William’s Windsor Castle investiture.

The princess looked well in the two images shared by Kensington Palace on social media, wearing a maroon suit, smoky eye make up and her trademark brunette locks down.

The first image shows Kate hugging 16-year-old Liz Hatton, from Harrogate, after the royal couple met the youngster after the ceremony on Wednesday.

While the second is a group shot of the prince and princess with Liz and her family.

In a personal message on social media, William and Kate 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.”

Liz is trying to take part in as many photography experiences as possible and was invited to Windsor Castle today by William to take photos of recipients and learn about the different pictures that are taken throughout the day.
