Prince William and Kate Middleton Seek New Aide Amid Work Ethic Criticisms

In response to recent criticism regarding their work ethic, Prince William and Kate Middleton have initiated the search for a visits and events manager, aiming to enhance their official programs and engagements.

According to a LinkedIn post mentioned by Brides, the royal couple is actively seeking an individual to contribute to the development of their official initiatives.

The chosen candidate will collaborate creatively with the team to design, plan, and execute various visits, ranging from formal state occasions to more imaginative engagements aligned with their royal highnesses' thematic areas.

The appointed manager will work closely with William and Kate's existing team, which encompasses events, private secretary, and communications teams. Acting as the primary point of contact for all involved in the planning and execution processes, the manager will play a crucial role in coordinating the royal couple's engagements.

This move comes in the wake of public discontentment with the work ethics of Prince William and Princess Kate, prompting them to address the issue by actively seeking additional support. The criticism peaked in 2023, with some labeling them as 'lazy' due to a perceived lack of engagements.

Royal expert Gareth Russell cautioned the couple about the potential consequences of scaling back their royal duties, noting that despite likely prioritizing their home life, it could be exploited by critics painting them as 'lazy.' Given the monarchy's recent challenges, William and Kate were expected to be prominent figures for positive publicity, making their public presence crucial in shaping their narrative and countering negative perceptions.
