Who is this 16-year-old who met with William and Kate at Windsor?

Liz is a budding photographer from Harrogate, North Yorkshire, who was told by doctors earlier this year she had between six months and three years to live. Kate shares her passion for photography with Liz and thus connects with her on more than one thing.
