Trying to make it to her sister
While the hopes are high that Kathryn Prescott will be okay, the star is still going through an incredibly difficult time while in the hospital right now, which is what gravely concerns her twin sister. Megan Prescott explained to fans that the London-born thirty-year-old star is currently alone in New York City without any of her family members there to support her through this traumatic time, and it hurts her greatly.
Megan Prescott expressed that she wanted to immediately book a plane ticket to the States to see her sister upon hearing the news of this tragic incident, but The U.S. Embassy rejected her request on September 9th. Now, the twin sister is taking to social media to spread the news and ask for assistance with possibly appealing the decision.
Megan Prescott, who also starred in the Skins TV show alongside her twin sister Kathryn Prescott, wrote: “I need help getting to New York to support her recovery. I will have to help her until she can start to walk again. I need to be there to help her with literally everything as she will be able to do incredibly little by herself. She will be in rehab for a very long time and will need 24/hr care even after she leaves the hospital”.

She added: “I don’t know what to do with myself. I have to be able to get to my sister to care for her and right now I have no way of doing so. I know there is so much going on in the world right now but I am heartbroken that I can’t be with my twin sister in this horrible time in her life when she desperately needs me—I don’t want her to go through this alone”. Since then, fans and other stars have been trying their best to help her out.
Earlier today, Megan Prescott shared to the world that she was finally approved to fly out of the country to see her sister in New York City. She expressed her support and love to her fans and everyone who helped her and shared her message. We’re so glad she can be there for her sister through this time, and we’re hoping Kathryn Prescott has a swift and peaceful recovery!
