A bereaved mother says the Duchess of Cambridge wrote personally to console her following the death of her baby daughter.

Kate was attending a fundraising campaign launch for East Anglia's Children's Hospices when she met families who have benefited from the charity's work.

Among them was Leigh Smith, whose daughter Beatrice died from a rare heart condition after just 89 days.

She revealed how she'd written a letter to Kate outlining her story, only to receive a personal reply from the duchess.

She says it was a lovely gesture and helped her through a terrible time... and Kate remembered her when they met.
