Throwback: “there was a buzz everyone was getting really excited about the royal visit. And I count myself in this camp. I’m a huge Harry fan, from my limited experience of seeing him on TV I’ve always thought he seemed like a thoroughly decent bloke” godberstravel.com/2019/05/14/day…
“After some dinosaur chat, I couldn’t resist asking him about Meghan.
I congratulated him on becoming a dad and asked him how he and Meghan were getting on.”
“Referring to the sleepless nights he replied “it is a bit like being back in the army” and then said “i’m told 6-8weeks is when it get really bad” and then added “Meghan has taken to motherhood like a duck to water” it was clear to see he was proud as punch.”
“I then said “I hope you get to enjoy these first few months, they’re so precious and go by so fast” he agreed and said “Archie has already changed so much””
“Well I can safely say that Harry surpassed any expectation I had of him. And certainly didn’t disappoint. He was warm, genuine & humble. He’s a man w/ an aura that I can’t fully describe. But it is certainly very very special. He was so genuine and generous a true gentleman”
“when someone who is so famous, so well known takes time out of his busy day, his early weeks of being a father the feeling across the ward is palpable.”
“And when that person is clearly invested in what he is doing, takes time to ask personal questions and makes your feel like you’re the only thing that matters in that moment. Magic is being created. He’s giving our children and us another moment to talk about that isn’t cancer.”
“He’s making a memory in the midst of dark times that becomes the focus of the cancer journey instead of the treatment, the chemo, the side effects etc.”
“And ultimately he shines a light & brings attn to the Kamran ward & every consultant, doctor, nurse,play assistant,cleaner,social worker & physio (& many more) who do so much for cancer families. Who help us thru every hour, day, week, month & sadly years of our cancer journey.”
“Today has been epic and will forever be etched in our mind as the day we met a prince and he played dinosaurs with the Godber boys.”

“Last wk judgment was handed down in the case of HRH #DuchessOfSussex v ANL. The DoS, otherwise known as #MeghanMarkle, was successful in her application for summary judgment in her privacy & copyright claims (save for 1 tech pt in relation to the latter)” holdthefrontpage.co.uk/2021/news/law-…
The starting pt is clear enough: we have known for a long time that personal correspondence Btwn individuals is private and there is a reasonable expectation of privacy in respect of it. That reasonable expectation of privacy can only be overcome if it is in the public interest”
“Some legal commentators are hailing this judgment as a disastrous ruling for the press & a win for PR specialists...Others...are pointing out that the correspondence in question would always have been deemed to be pvt, subject to the public interest overriding that assumption.””
