The Prince found out about her mission to fulfil a “photography bucket list” via the London Air Ambulance Charity, of which he is patron.
Liz has been diagnosed with desmoplastic small round cell tumour, which is rare and has no standard path of treatment.
She had visited her GP after experiencing abdominal pain during the Christmas holidays, with doctors discovering she had tumours on both her ovaries and liver. She has since undergone multiple rounds of chemotherapy and dropped her formal studies in favour of following her dream of photography.
Earlier this year, she told the BBC: “If I only have around three years left to live, what’s the point in A-levels?”
After her diagnosis earlier this year, her family posted her wish list on X, including requests for help in making her dream of having her pictures published in UK magazines, photographing the rehearsals of a musical, television show, or film and shooting models for real fashion houses.
It did not include a specific request to work at a palace, but the Prince invited her to experience an investiture, which included sporting recipients Mark Cavendish, Wayne Barnes and Alistair McCoist.
Liz had already received offers to photograph the Royal Marines, West End theatre shows including Wicked and Cabaret, and watched an episode of her favourite TV show Would I Lie To You? being filmed.
