The salary is peanuts. No one who is not already unconcerned about money would be able to live off it.

They pay in prestige. And they cannot afford to pay a lot, since the taxpaying public, including you, would throw fits.

They’re not even paying the going rate for a personal assistant in Britain. Just stop, fangirl. The royals are cheap as shit and the optics of this are horrible. Her crappy Golden Girls wardrobe budget is probably greater on a weekly basis.

Funny you mention that. Her wardrobe for a single 'foreign' tour to Ireland, to be worn once, cost more than this poor girl will make in a year.

What’s crazy is you’d think they’d want to compensate people somewhat well. I’d be shopping for a book deal as soon as I could.

The optics aren't horrible. You're nitpicking and refusing to admit that, like other high-prestige low-pay jobs, the calculus is different.

Some of them do get to write books - Angela Kelly, the Queen's personal dresser for like forty years was given explicit permission to write about her life and profit from it while still serving. Others were written off and blacklisted for the same thing - the Queen's nanny as a child wrote about her and Margaret and the royal family went after her. She ended up in the poor house. Diana's butler wrote about her after her death and the royal family hates him but he still made millions.

I guess it just depends. Also a lot of their assistants/high ranking aides are the children of or married to second or third-born aristocrats. They know they'd be iced out from their circles if they revealed too much.

They want diversity, but they need someone with enough family money to be able to afford to take the job

Bingo. And I wonder what sort of person that would be.

Hard to be the diversity czar when the company you work for got itself excluded from anti-discrimination laws.

Isn’t that like the opposite of diversity

DP. They pay below market for everything though. Including housekeeping. Who knows what prestigious toilets you can scrub after that!

I truly hope that sort of person is nobody because whoever they are hiring is only their to be a scapegoat.

Why do you want to see pictures of other people’s kids so badly? Creepy

I am so sorry you are having a bad day, pp. Looking at pictures that the parents provide isn't creepy. Now I would agree if it is from a tabloid. I suppose you never look at anyone's kid..Neil Patrick Harris? Nope! Beyonce and her kids? If you have looked at any kids of famous people than you are a hypocrite.

It's a personal assistant- like any celeb would have - there's a ton of scheduling, logistics of events (flights, accommodations, security), and the who/what/where of any XYZ event or fundraiser or charitable cause.
Some advice on what to wear ("don't wear something low cut bc youll be reading a story to school children and you'll probably be bending g over a lot to look like upu care and are involved"...-type thing).
Some advice on other stuff ("Everyone loves dogs so have Charlitte pose with the dig for her bday pictures that will be released to guarantee instant positive ratings").
Controlling the narrative and PR

Its more than that. Each household has a Private Secretary and they control access to the senior Royal in the same way Ron Klain controls access to the President of the United States. They act as their Chief Advisor and steer the ship of the household.

So, what does this rotation of private secretaries say about William?

That he’s a great person? Or that he sucks big time?

dp Most people are not either/or. There are some days you are great and other days you suck. And I am not just saying "you" but,everyone. People leave jobs for all sorts of reasons and the reason could be very personal and nothing to do with the Cambridges.

Then the same must be said of employees who left the Sussexes.

Of course.

Oh what's this? Sinn Fein just took control of Northern Ireland. They are the pro-unity party that wants to have a referendum and unite with Ireland as one country.

The U.K. is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Without that northern Irish bit, the future monarch looses one more realm and the U.K. becomes the 'Kingdom' solo.

So in 2022, they've lost:

Barbados
Jamaica
Bahamas
Belize
Grenada
Antigua and Barbuda
St. Kitts and Nevis

....now northern Ireland
