Prince George's godmother, Julia Samuel, has been injured in a skiing accident during a family holiday to Courchevel in the French Alps. Julia, a distinguished psychotherapist who was a close friend of Diana, Princess of Wales, has been a source of enormous strength for the Wales family over the years and was made one of Prince George's godmothers in 2013. Speaking to Richard Eden at the Daily Mail for Eden Confidential, Julia revealed the shocking news, saying: "The first morning of my holiday, I fell over nothing and busted my shoulder.
I've got ten pins in it and I can't really move." Never one to let anything stand in her way, Julia, whose son, Ben, was the godchild of Diana, Princess of Wales, is not going to let her injury get her down. "My broken shoulder is called 'Trudy'", Julia told the paper. "All the family give our injuries alter egos so we can talk about them freely." As well as her special honour in 2013, Julia has maintained a close bond with Prince William - a relationship which saw him become the Royal Patron of Child Bereavement UK, the charity she founded, in 2009.
Julia clearly treasures the role and has given little insights into what Prince George is like. Speaking to The Guardian, she said: "Well, I feel lucky I was such a good friend of Princess Diana. And I really love my godson, George.
And it's a lovely way of loving her." She added: “I was angry that she died and shocked and I couldn’t really understand it all. I understand it better now. I understand that people felt they really knew and loved her.

could make a swift return to the royal fold as the family navigates several health woes.“The King has made it very clear that [Harry] is part of his family and always will be part of his family, but as far as the working part goes, that will be something that we will only see over time,” Grant Harrold, who worked for Charles for seven years when he was the Prince of Wales, exclusively told The Post.“It is possible that given recent events, with the King not being 100% and he’s now relying on other members of the family, he could ask Harry to take on other duties.”“Remember, Prince Harry is still a senior member of the royal family — he’s not a working member of the royal family, but he is still very much a member of the family and Counsellor of State, which means he’s able to step in when the King is unable to perform his duties,” Harrold added.The former royal butler added that the father of two — who this week lost his bid for taxpayer-funded UK security protection for his family — is still “privy to top-secret information” — despite being estranged from most of his loved ones.“Technically, he is able to step in for the King.

Prince William was reportedly “surprised” by the success of Prince Harry’s Invictus Games.“I think there was a degree of jealousy about how well it had gone,” Robert Jobson said during the ABC News special “Prince Harry’s Mission: Life, Family and Invictus Games.”“I do think that William was surprised how much this had been such a success and how much money was being thrown into it and how many governments were getting involved,” Jobson said, adding that the event has “been very successful since its outset.” “It doesn’t come cheap,” the reporter added. “It costs a lot of money, and he’s been able to continue to raise that money throughout this period, which is impressive.”The Invictus Games, which were founded by Harry, 39, in 2014, serve as an international multisport event for wounded, injured and sick soldiers and veterans.
