"It’s quite surreal having a royal pop in at home, and yes you can imagine the cleaning antics and preparation went off the scale - but it was all irrelevant because William was so kind and he put us all at ease," she added."He is clearly passionate about improving oncology outcomes as the President of the Royal Marsden. It was such a special day for my whole family, making memories to last a life time.
By Thursday it was reported that Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace and No10 Downing Street hadpulled out all the stops to make the Damehood happen; they are normally only gifted during thr Queen's New Year Honours.The Sun revealed that Prince William was the driving force behind the honour, working behind the scenes to make it happen.
Her latest post read:"The message I never wanted to write. We have tried everything, but my body simply isn't playing ball. My active care has stopped and I am now moved to hospice at home care, with my incredible family all around me and the focus is on making sure I'm not in pain and spending time with them. Nobody knows how long I've got left but I'm not able to walk, I'm sleeping most of the days, and most things I took for granted are pipe dreams.
