Sadly, Amy is fighting a serious terminal illness. In 2017, she was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, a condition in which the lungs become scarred and breathing becomes increasingly difficult. There is currently no treatment or cure.

It's a difficult time for Princess and her big brother, Junior. Mum Katie was arrested for a drink-driving-related offence after crashing her car at the end of last month and is now being treated in The Priory.

"We would kindly ask that the media and wider public give Kate the time and space she needs to seek the necessary treatment, so that she can hopefully return to the Kate we know and love as a mother, daughter and sister."

Amy later shared a statement of her own. She wrote: "I know better than most that Kate has made a career in which she has engaged with and benefitted from the press so I am not seeking to portray them as bad guys and Kate as a victim.

"My daughter behaved appallingly when she got behind the wheel of a car intoxicated. She could have killed herself or someone else's child. I don't hide from that and neither does Kate."

She added: "But Kate is not well. We asked as a family to have space and privacy. If, as is my fear, we lose Kate then the narrative will change and people/ media may remember all the good she did for causes in her early days and not just be judged on her failures."
