New photos of Kate emerge as Southport dance teacher shares sweet tribute
Leanne Lucas was holding a Taylor Swift-themed dance class on July 29 when Axel Rudakubana entered the building and unleashed his attack.
The dance teacher who was injured during the stabbing rampage in Southport last year has posted new photos of the Prince and Princess of Wales from their meeting last October.
Leanne Lucas was holding a Taylor Swift-themed dance class on July 29 when Axel Rudakubana entered the building and unleashed his attack.
Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, were killed on-site, while the attacker also went for Ms Lucas.
The teacher met with the royal couple last October when they visited Southport.
It was Princess Kate's first official engagement following the completion of preventative chemotherapy.
William and Kate met privately with the families for 90 minutes and at the time, it was understood that the princess wanted to "show her support, empathy and compassion to the local community".
Since the meeting was private no pictures of the event were released to the public, apart from the couple's public part of their engagements speaking to emergency crew.
In a reel video posted on her Facebook which shared her 2024 memories, Ms Lucas gave an insight as to what happened during her private meeting with the royal couple.
Kate can be seen embracing the dance teacher, as well as Prince William, while the royals also pose for a photo with her.
