Cancer-stricken teenager who met Princess of Wales photographs models for wish list

Her mother told The Telegraph: “We know the future is coming but we just don’t think about it. Sure, there are times late at night when you can’t help but think about it, but generally we manage by focusing on the next exciting thing Liz does and thinking about the happy days she had that week.

“It keeps us all going, not just Liz. As a parent, all you want is to make your children’s dreams come true.”

Ms Robaina explained that she wanted her daughter to remain “focused on what she can still do”, adding: “We’re really lucky because most people at her stage of cancer wouldn’t travel.”

She credited her daughter’s medical team for “going above and beyond” to make her dream come true.

Liz said she initially told her mother there was “no point” in posting the now-viral list on X, explaining that she didn’t think anyone would read it.

“But people are definitely reading it,” she said. “They did so much more than that, and for that I can be very grateful, because even if they didn’t actively do anything, even if they just liked it or shared it… it just shows the kindness of humanity really.

“Kindness in general was needed by my entire family at the time this was published, but kindness is always needed by everyone.”

On Tuesday, the teenager photographed Storm signees Beatrice Ax and Tallulah Harris at a studio in Peckham, south London, styled by Edie Rose.
