In a touching gesture of compassion, Prince William penned a heartfelt letter of condolence to the family of a local pizza van owner who tragically passed away from cancer.
Peter Morris, a beloved member of the Ebbw Vale community in South Wales, sadly succumbed to cancer in May. Just months prior, the Prince and Princess of Wales had placed a significant order from his popular pizza van, Little Dragon Pizza, showing their support for local businesses.
The unexpected act of kindness from the royal couple left a profound impact on the Morris family. “It was a huge surprise,” Tracey, Peter’s widow, told The Sun. “I have no idea how they learned that Pete had died. Because Kate is getting help, it may have struck a chord with them.”
William’s letter, written on Kensington Palace notepaper, expressed his sincere condolences: “I can’t even begin to imagine what a huge hole he will leave in your life. My heart goes out to you and your family.” He went on to praise Peter’s dedication to his community, acknowledging the positive impact he had on those around him.
The letter, a poignant reminder of the human connection between royalty and the everyday lives of ordinary citizens, will be cherished by Peter’s daughters as a treasured keepsake.
This heartwarming story highlights the compassionate nature of the Prince and Princess of Wales and their genuine connection to the communities they serve.
