Since 2010, Lord Glenarthur has been governor and a trustee of King Edward VII's Hospital Sister Agnes. In his role as governor, he wrote to the Australian radio station 2Day FM in the wake of their hoax call to the King Edward VII Hospital concerning the pregnancy of The Duchess of Cambridge, and the subsequent death of nurse Jacintha Saldanha who took the call. Glenarthur wrote that it was 'truly appalling' that the call was approved by radio management before broadcast.
