When I was a child my father, Dickie Arbiter, former Court Correspondent for LBC News Radio, was invited to serve as a press secretary for the Prince and Princess of Wales. As a result of his time working for the Royal Family we spent a few years living in a Grace and Favour Apartment in Kensington Palace. Here I share my memories with premiere royal website Royal Central:
People often ask me what it was like living at Kensington Palace and, in the past, I’ve responded in a somewhat blasé fashion. However, the passage of time has given me the opportunity to appreciate what a truly unique experience it was…http://www.royalcentral.co.uk/blogs/insight/victoria-arbiter-living-at-kensington-palace-26368
Royally Speaking 
Great article! I enjoyed reading it very much. I am glad you decided to write it!
Victoria, your reminiscences are sweet, and not too intrusive. How do you feel about your father, Dickie, who reaped the benefit of being part of the household for many years, now appearing on various TV documentaries sharing negative comments about Diana…that Diana didn’t heed his advice (i.e. the Morton book etc), is it necessary especially when she is dead? Patrick Jepson is not any better nor Ken Wharfe or the butler for that matter.
I have finally been compelled to comment as I saw another documentary on Gavin Kent and your father was on it, once again.
Everyone has a right to an opinion, however, he benefited (and so have you) from this association.
Thank you for your comment. I appreciate your thoughts, but in an effort to be fair there have also been numerous occasions when my father has expressed his enormous respect and admiration for Diana. He was the only member of her staff to not write a book and cash in on his association with her following her death. While he now does have a book coming out in October it is not a salacious tell-all rather his story and how he came to have a job that he loved and appreciated. He was a journalist long before he moved into the press office and his job is to present the truth as he saw it and to speak fairly. He has always been a staunch reporter of the royal family and has combusted many of the myths that have become fact over the years. He would be remiss were he to simply present a biased opinion.
