Kate Middleton and Prince William Send Moving Letter to Pizza Seller’s Widow After He Dies of Cancer at 47

Kate Middleton and Prince William have paid tribute to a pizza seller who they met during an outing in Wales last year following his death from cancer at the age of 47.

The Prince and Princess of Wales wrote a touching tribute to Peter Morris, owner of the Little Dragon Pizza Van, according to U.K. newspaper The Sun.

Per the outlet, William, 42, sent a letter of condolence on Kensington Palace notepaper to Peter’s widow Tracey, which was read out at his funeral.

We can only begin to imagine what an immense hole he will leave in your life and my heart goes out to you and your family. Catherine and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting Pete,” the letter read.

“We know that Pete was a hugely dedicated and highly valued member of the community which has been evident from the response to his passing,” the letter continued. “I did want you to know just how much you and your family are in our thoughts at this time.”

According to The Sun, the letter will be framed for Peter’s daughters, who are 5 and 8.

His widow Tracey, 40, told the outlet that the kind gesture from the royals “came as a massive surprise.”

“I don’t even know how they found out Pete had died. It may have hit a chord with them because Kate is going through treatment,” Tracey said, per The Sun.
