Prince Ricardo De La Cerda
The Princess was visibly moved as she hugged Mrs Renton and vowed to wear them.
Mrs Renton said afterwards: “My daughter Issy took her own life on May 29. The proceeds from the earrings are going to a charity called Brave Minds, a mental health charity that supports children using the platforms of rugby clubs. Mental health is such an important issue.
“She was wonderful, Issy – a real breath of fresh air. She had wonderful, wonderful friends; surrounded herself with the best people.
“She was owning life, doing so well in her A-levels. She was going to do an elite rugby programme. She played touch rugby for England and got a gold medal in the summer. But she was also struggling with depression. Everything was harder than it was supposed to be.”
She added: “We thought she was obviously doing better than she was. But I think one of the things we are looking at is GPs, medication and lack of support. She got herself in a bit of a vacuum. It’s affected a lot of the parents and children here at the club but we are getting through it together.
“The Princess said she would wear the earrings. She is very passionate about what she does. It was so great that she came down here today.”
