Prince William Praises 5-Year-Old Suzie McCash For Saving Her Mom’s Life

Prince William recently had the chance to meet 5-year-old Suzie McCash.

The young girl was just four when she saved her mom’s life. During their meeting, Prince William praised the girl for the inspiring thing she did for her mom and said that he will tell his son, Prince George, about it.

“I have a 4-year-old called George, and if I gave him a telephone I do not know what he would do. And so you know what, I’m going to have a conversation with my George about what to do because of what you’ve done. It’s really important,” he said.

McCash was invited to attend the Pride of Britain Awards with her family and received the Child of Courage honor.

Other than the 5-year-old, Prince William also honored the men and women of the emergency services that responded to the deadly inferno at Grenfell Tower in London a couple of months ago, according to People.

The tragedy at the tower took place in June and killed more than 70 people. Shortly after, Prince William and Queen Elizabeth II visited the site to show their support for the families who lost their loved ones or were affected by the incident. Prince William and Prince Harry also visited the victims thereafter.

Since the incident, the siblings’ Royal Foundation has backed a support center to help the victims cope with mental health issues that they may have experienced following the accident. During the Pride of Britain Awards, approximately 30 firefighters joined Prince William on stage to accept their prestigious award.

“Many people forget the daily grind you go through on a daily basis… I’m just so sorry that such an awful event ever occurred. It’s truly inspiring how you rallied round and helped each other. I can only imagine how horrendously difficult it’s been for you all. Everyone needs to know what community spirit in truly, truly devastating times is really about,” he said.

Prince William also awarded the medical teams in eight hospitals after they tended to patients following the Ariana Grande concert attack on May 22. Approximately 22 concertgoers were reported dead following the incident.
