Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, has temporarily stepped back from royal duties due to her cancer treatment, but that hasn’t stopped her from connecting with those in need of support. In a touching gesture, the future queen recently sent a heartfelt letter to Kirsty Kerr, whose six-year-old daughter, Isla, suffers from celiac disease.
Kirsty, who had written to Princess Kate to tell her of the difficulties her daughter is facing due to her illness, was moved to tears upon receiving the royal letter just two weeks ago.

The Princess also praised Kirsty for her commitment to her daughter’s well-being, calling her efforts “truly admirable.” The letter, shared by Hello!
