Prince William’s sweet moment with six-year-old cancer patient
Prince William paid a visit to Royal Marsden's Sutton hospital, Europe’s largest cancer hospital, on Tuesday to meet children in the cancer ward.
The Duke of Cambridge’s mother, Diana, was president and patron of the hospital until her death in 1997. William stepped into his mother’s role with the hospital and has been the president of the hospital for 10 years.
Prince William visited six-year-old chemotherapy patient named Daisy who held a stuffed penguin while William helped her attach her hospital ID bracelet.
The six-year-old jokingly told her father, "He's too old for me to marry."
Daisy's father told journalists, according to E! News, "It's particularly nice he's come around. It shows he's interested in the Royal Marsden and the patients — it gives a boost to everyone. "And being a dad with two young children, you can see how he relates very well to the children."
William also met four-year-old Zak, who has just been diagnosed with a brain tumour. The royal fan was ecstatic he got to meet the future king.
"We were talking about George, and William said George was noisy and charging around the place," Zak's mother told the press. "And Charlotte has recently had her birthday, so Zak said happy birthday to Charlotte. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Zak."
