Prince William and Kate Middleton have made a significant decision to enhance their royal duties by seeking a new team member. The couple is looking for an assistant private secretary to join their staff at Kensington Palace, the official office of the Prince and Princess of Wales.
This new hire will play a crucial role in strengthening their relationship with Wales and other constituent nations of the U.K. The position requires exceptional communication and organizational skills, as well as a few unique qualities, including proficiency in the Welsh language.
The job description highlights the exciting opportunity to support the Prince and Princess of Wales, with responsibilities including planning and delivering public engagements in Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. The role also involves contributing to the development of the Household’s strategy to maximize impact across the U.K., with a particular focus on Wales.
Fluency in Welsh, both written and spoken, is highly desirable, reflecting the importance of the language to the role. King Charles famously learned Welsh before his investiture as the Prince of Wales in 1969, a tradition that continues to hold significance.
In 2022, following the death of Queen Elizabeth, King Charles named his eldest son and daughter-in-law as the new Prince and Princess of Wales, passing on the traditional title and responsibilities.
