Prince George, Princess Charlotte & Prince Louis Go Bonkers for This Beloved Toy, Prince William Reveals
It's official: Spring has sprung across the pond with royals ranging from King Charles to Kate Middleton popping up at a series of engagements last week including the Royal Horticultural Society's Chelsea Flower Show, a Buckingham Palace Garden party and more. But about that royal garden party: It was particularly significant for the Prince and Princess of Wales, not only because it marked Kate's first time back at the beloved royal occasion in two years following her cancer scare, but also because the pair welcomed some very special guests—the family of late photographer, Liz you might recall, Kate and William both met with Liz when she photographed an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle last fall, part of a 'photography bucket list' dream. At the time, Liz was battling an aggressive form of cancer, which she sadly succumbed to a short time later and at age 17. To help honor her legacy, Liz's family—her parents Aaron and Vicky Robayna and her 9-year-old brother, Mateo—were included at the royal garden party last week and they came bearing a surprise set of gifts for Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. It was actually Mateo who picked them out: A pair of Jellycat plushes, popular with kids (and parents) the world over. According to People, the line of stuffies was a favorite of Liz's and her family noted that she used to give them to people 'who made her happy.' (We'd say that William and Kate for sure fit that bill.)So, which ones did Mateo select? A tarte au citron for Kate ('it matches my dress, how did you know?' the Princess of Wales remarked) while William received a pickled onion ('Liz loved all things pickled,' Vicky explained to the Daily Mail). As for the tarte, it was meant to be a thoughtful reference to Liz's trip to Windsor Castle last October. At the time, the teen was struggling to eat as a result of her cancer treatment and Kate and William made extra effort to offer her something special. Liz opted to try a slice of lemon drizzle cake and it was a favorite—in fact, she declared it the best she'd ever had, according to her parents. (Mateo thought the tarte represented the cake and Liz's experience rather well.) It was William who affirmed just how popular the Jellycat gifts would be with his kids, George, Charlotte and Louis, when he brought them home: 'My children will love these. They are children's currency,' he said. (He's not wrong.) Further proof that with gift giving—even the royal variety—it's always the thought that counts.

Kate shares how Jellycat toys remind her of teenage photographer who died of cancer
The Princess of Wales shared a touching moment with the family of a young photographer who tragically passed away from cancer, revealing that Jellycat cuddly toys serve as a poignant reminder of the budding artist. Liz Hatton, who lost her 10-month cancer fight in November 2024, had a memorable encounter with Kate at Windsor Castle. Invited to photograph Prince William at an investiture ceremony, a heartwarming image captured Liz embracing the Princess. During a Buckingham Palace garden party on Tuesday, Liz's younger brother, nine-year-old Mateo, presented Kate with two lemon pie and pickled onion shaped Jellycat toys. The Princess, delighted by the gesture, remarked, "It matches my dress, how did you know?" Jellycat, a London-based company established in 1999, is renowned for its plush toys, ranging in price from £12 to £200. Recalling her conversations with Liz, Kate shared a heartfelt sentiment: "I remember, we talked about Jellycats. When I see the fish and chips Jellycat, I think of her." 'She really made the most of everything. I loved her creativity all the way through. 'I hope you weren't overwhelmed. It must be difficult when you are under the spotlight. 'If you need any help fundraising, maybe I can help. Please stay in touch, really.' The Prince of Wales said to the nine-year-old: 'You look very smart today.' Seeing the toys, the prince said: 'These are like gold dust. My children go crazy for these things. This is a children's currency.' Tuesday was the first time Kate has attended a royal garden party in two years, surprising the 7,500 guests by joining husband William at Buckingham Palace. William, dressed in a top hat and morning suit, was hosting the traditional outdoor gathering on behalf of his father, the King. The princess, who is in remission from cancer, missed the 2024 garden party season while undergoing treatment during what William described as a 'brutal' year. Kate, whose attendance was not announced in advance as is the custom for garden parties, was dressed in a yellow Emilia Wickstead dress and hat by Philip Treacy. Also at the event were William's cousins, Princess Eugenie and Zara Tindall. Kensington Palace said the prince and princess specially invited the younger generation of the royal family to accompany them. Other attendees included Holocaust survivor Steven Frank, who was photographed by Kate in 2020 to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the end of the Holocaust, and fundraising youngster Tony Hudgell. Kate hugged Mr Frank and said: 'I feel like we're old friends now. It's good to see you looking so well.' The pair discussed the Holocaust survivor's work talking to young people about his experience. She said: 'It's amazing to be able to go out and do those talks. George and Charlotte really found going to the VE Day this year so interesting.' Tony, a double amputee who previously met Kate at the Evelina London Children's Day Surgery Unit, missed a garden party last year after getting stuck in traffic on his way there, prompting another invitation from the Palace this year. William said to the 10-year-old: 'Last year, it poured and poured with rain. You couldn't see anything. 'So you chose a good year to come. I'm glad you came on a better day.' The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester were also present at the party.

Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis Are Obsessed with This Toy Prince William Calls 'Children's Currency'
Kate Middleton and Prince William met with the family of late photographer Liz Hatton at the Buckingham Palace garden party on May 20 The royal couple were gifted a pair of Jellycat plushes by Liz's 9-year-old brother, Mateo, in memory of his sister, who died from a rare cancer in November 2024 The Prince and Princess of Wales invited Liz and her family to Windsor Castle a month before her death, where she crossed an item off her photography 'bucket list' by taking pictures of a royal investitureKate Middleton and Prince William received some very special gifts at the royal garden party this week — and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, will be thrilled to see them! The Prince and Princess of Wales welcomed thousands of guests to Buckingham Palace on Tuesday, May 20, including a few with whom they share a special connection. Prince William, 42, and Princess Kate, 43, met with the family of late photographer Liz Hatton, who died at age 17 from cancer in November 2024. The royal couple shook hands and spoke with Liz's parents, Aaron and Vicky Robayna, as well as her 9-year-old brother, Mateo. It was Mateo who picked out special gifts for the royal couple, presenting them with a pair of Jellycat plushes. The popular line of soft toys was a favorite of Liz's, and her family noted that she would give them to people who 'made her happy.' Mateo selected a tarte au citron plush for Kate, while William received a pickled onion. It may seem a strange combination, but both foods had special meaning for Liz. The onion was simple enough to explain: 'Because Liz loved all things pickled,' Vicky told the Daily Mail. As for the tarte, that hearkened back to when the Prince and Princess of Wales made one of Liz's 'bucket list' wishes come true. They invited her to Windsor Castle in October 2024, following Kate's return to royal work after undergoing her own cancer treatment. At the time, Liz's cancer had advanced to the point that she struggled to eat, however, the royal couple took pains to present her with something special. When her parents suggested that lemon drizzle cake was a favorite, the royal kitchen presented Liz with one, and she declared it the best she'd ever had. In lieu of a drizzle cake Jellycat, Mateo thought the tarte a good substitute. His mother proudly told the royals how he had personally chosen each of the Jellycats to remind the royals of his big sister. 'It matches my dress, how did you know?' marveled Kate, who donned a pale yellow dress by Emilia Wickstead and a matching Philip Treacy hat. 'We talked about it. When I see the fish and chips Jellycat, I think of her.' The gifts made Prince William bring up their three children — Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7. 'My children will love these," he said. "They are children's currency.' Can't get enough of PEOPLE's Royals coverage? to get the latest updates on Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle and more! Princess Kate paid tribute to Liz's 'strength and creativity' on International Women's Day on March 8, and when meeting with her family this week, reiterated her commitment to continuing their connection. 'She really made the most of everything. I loved her creativity all the way through,' she marveled to the photographer's family. 'If you need any help fundraising, maybe I can help. Please stay in touch, really.' As part of her Windsor Castle visit in October 2024, Liz was invited to photograph a royal investiture, marking another item off the photography bucket list that her mother shared on social media a few months before her death. Following her royal encounter, the teen photographer shared an image of her embracing Kate on her Instagram story "Such a lovely, genuine and kind people," she wrote. "I'm over the moon that my family and I had this experience." Read the original article on People
