The Duchess of Cornwall helped to make the Christmas of a terminally-ill toddler an extra special one today by inviting her to decorate the Christmas tree at Clarence House.
Lorna Gentry, who is two and half, is suffering from an incurable brain tumour and has been given just months to live, her unspeakably brave parents revealed.
But the pretty youngster, wearing her best party dress, raced around the antique-filled drawing room of the Prince of Wales’s official London residence with the energy of your typical, determined toddler.
Camilla, in a cream dress and pearls, helped Lorna, who was accompanied by her parents, Helene and Adam, to place a brightly-coloured ornament on the Christmas tree in the Morning Room.
Afterwards she gave her a bag of treats from the Buckingham Palace shop, including a Welsh Guards tree ornament and a Union, and posed for a personal photograph, Daily Mail informs.
‘Hello Lorna, I do love your pretty dress,’ the Duchess said. ‘Have a look at all these lovely goodies I have for you here.’
