Sarah, Duchess of York, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie show their support for HELLO!'s special Christmas appeal in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust
November 22, 2021 - 09:00 GMT Emily Nash As they arrive in a flurry of hugs, kisses and warm smiles for one another, Sarah, Duchess of York, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie could be any mother and daughters excited to see each other on a day out.
DONATE NOW "Christmas is one of the hardest times of the year to be in hospital undergoing treatment," Beatrice, who is an honorary patron of the charity alongside her mother and sister, tells HELLO! "It's reassuring to know how well-trained the specialist nurses are in giving each young person sensitive and individual care, so they feel loved and supported throughout. During the pandemic, the work of Teenage Cancer Trust has never been more valuable."
She and the Princesses want you to hear the stories of young people like Abigail Jacobs, 13, from Borehamwood, Herts, who was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia after spending last Christmas in hospital with a chest infection. She and mum Lara were confined to her room on an adult ward because of Covid, but Abigail was eventually able to transfer to a Teenage Cancer Trust unit at the hospital, meeting other teenagers, specialist nurses and her youth support coordinator, Karl.
"Yeah, then you can never stop worrying," Eugenie, who gave birth to her son August in February, says. Beatrice gave birth to her daughter, Sienna, in September and has a stepson, Wolfie, aged five. Egon Turci, Abigail Jacobs and Teenage Cancer Trust chief Kate Collins Beatrice asks Mariam:"You're a year on and today we're talking a little bit about mental health and how important that is. What would be some of the things you would say to people that are getting their diagnosis now?""One thing that my youth support coordinator told me was just take every day as it comes. Like 'keep swimming' from Finding Nemo," Mariam replies."Just keep swimming and that's something I still go by every day.
He has worn a Cruella de Vil top for the meeting and Princess Eugenie tells him:"That film was so good! The music, the costumes. I loved it." Aimee with her father, Mark "Teenage Cancer Trust is unique in being the only charity in the country to provide specialist care and support to these young people when they need it most. It's an extended family that we are proud to be a part of."
