Julia Samuel, one of Prince George's godparents, recently shared news of an injury sustained during a winter holiday. She took to Instagram to reveal that she had broken her shoulder while on a ski vacation with her family in the French Alps. In an Instagram video, Julia showed her left arm in a sling, humorously referring to her broken shoulder as 'Trudy' and mentioning the 10 nails in her shoulder.
Julia Samuel, a psychotherapist and Founder Patron of Child Bereavement U.K., is a close friend of the late Princess Diana and was chosen as one of Prince George's seven godparents when he was baptized in 2013. The selection of godparents was made to include family and friends, reflecting the life of Prince William and Kate Middleton on both sides.
Having multiple godparents is a tradition in the royal family, with Prince William and Prince Harry each having six godparents. This practice is believed to provide royal children with additional confidants apart from their parents.
Julia Samuel received an MBE for her services to bereaved children in 2015 and has been actively supported by Prince William and Prince Harry in her charity work with Child Bereavement U.K. The organization has also received patronage from Prince Charles and featured in initiatives supported by Prince Harry.
Julia has spoken fondly about her godson Prince George, describing him as funny, feisty, and cheeky. She expressed her sadness that Princess Diana never got to meet him, highlighting the emotional bond she believes Diana would have shared with her great-nephew.
Julia Samuel, alongside Prince William and Prince Harry, attended the unveiling of a statue in memory of Princess Diana at Kensington Palace in July 2021. The statue was erected on what would have been Princess Diana's 60th birthday, commemorating her life and legacy.
