Young photographer battling cancer who counts Princess Kate as a fan snaps stars at Venom premiere

SHE counts the Princess of Wales among the fans of her photography and now Liz Hatton has been snapping stars at the London premiere of Tom Hardy movie Venom.

The teen, who is terminally ill with a rare cancer, was at the BFI IMAX in Waterloo, where she got pictures of the film’s Hannah Waddingham and Juno Temple at the event.

Liz, who took her position next to legendary showbiz snapper Dave Bennet, also got this glam shot of Love Islander Ekin-Su Culculoglu who looked gorgeous in a black gown.

Liz met royal Kate – who opened up about her own cancer diagnosis in March – when she was invited to Windsor Castle to take photographs of an investiture ceremony earlier this month.

Kate and Prince William said Liz was “a talented young photographer whose creativity and strength has inspired us both”.

I couldn’t agree more.

Liz, who was joined by mum Vicky Robayna, step-dad Aaron and brother Mateo when she met the royals, replied: "Such lovely, genuine and kind people, I'm over the moon that my family and I had this experience."

She added: "It was my absolute pleasure to meet everyone and take photos today at Windsor, it was a great honour and was essentially a dream come true, so I truly hope to be part of any and all future events."

The teenager, from Harrogate, North Yorkshire, was diagnosed with desmoplastic small round cell tumour in January, and given between six months and three years to live.

William learned about her via the London Air Ambulance Charity, which he is patron of.
