16 months on since the world sadly lost Dame Deborah James to bowel cancer, Prince William has paid tribute to her lasting legacy as part of a special Stand Up To Cancer Takeover
Prince William has said we all need to “learn from and be inspired by” Dame Deborah James in a pre-recorded clip shown during a special Stand Up To Cancer live show on Channel 4.
He said: “Dame Deborah James was one of those special people who can unite and inspire others with the sheer force of her spirit. Her damehood was conferred by William, who joined her family for afternoon tea and champagne at home before her death last year. “I’ll never forget her kindness, warmth, honesty and humour in adversity. Let’s all learn from and be inspired by her passion for life.”
“Millions of pounds are raised in Deborah’s name for the BowelBabe fund for Cancer Research UK and associated charities which would have given more people affected by cancer more time with the people they love. Alistair said: “Prince William, Deborah’s husband, Deborah, they are all from the same generation, they are all within two or three years of each other and so when he was with them it was people of the same age group talking with a common theme.”
