Attenborough: I was an absent dad
SIR David Attenborough has revealed his biggest regret in life is being away from his children and missing precious family moments.
The broadcaster said although he has had a glittering career, it has meant being absent for milestones in the lives of his two children.
In a Radio Times interview, the 91-year-old said he would sometimes be off filming for months at a time. He said: ‘If you have a child you miss three months of his or her life, it’s irreplaceable; you miss something. And I did.
‘Perhaps you can’t have your cake and eat it.’
