When
the Prince and Princess of Wales bought pizza for mountain rescue workers, they
met a man selling pizza and wrote a touching funeral speech for him.
Father
of two Peter Morris, who was 47 years old, died of cancer in May, not long
after Kate was told she had it.
On
notepaper from Kensington Palace, Prince William wrote his wife Tracey a letter
of condolence. When he died, it was read.
“I
can’t even begin to imagine what a huge hole he will leave in your life,” he
wrote. “My heart goes out to you and your family.”
“Catherine
and I had a great time meeting Pete.”
“We
know Pete was a very dedicated and well-liked member of the community because
of how people have responded to his death.”
“I
wanted you to know that you and your family are thinking about you right now.”
In
April of last year, Kate and Wills bought 12 pizzas from Peter’s converted VW
van for £127.50. Peter is from Ebbw Vale in South Wales.
They
gave the Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team a choice of pizzas while they
were at Dowlais Rugby Club in Merthyr Tydfil. The pizzas were margarita,
pepperoni, BBQ chicken, and goats cheese.
At
the time, Peter said, “They were really nice.” When I was setting up the
business, I never would have thought that one day I would work for the young
king.
In
2016, Pete opened Little Dragon Pizza Van.
He
had beaten esophageal cancer, but doctors found it in his adrenal gland and
liver four months after he became a royal. He died in less than a year, but the
business keeps going.
The
letter from William will be framed for Pete’s daughters, who are eight and five
years old.
Tracey,
who is 40 years old, told The Sun, “It was a huge surprise.” I have no idea how
they learned that Pete had died. Because Kate is getting help, it may have
struck a chord with them.
“He
talked about how normal they were.”
“Many
people wrote to tell us they loved Pete, but the letter from William and Kate
was the most lovely.”
William
wrote his wife Tracey a letter of condolence on paper from Kensington Palace.
