A former member of the royal staff at Buckingham Palace has revealed what Prince Wiliam and Princess Kate are really like behind closed doors. The former staff member, who worked in food service for four years and confirmed their role to moderators, took part in a now-deleted Reddit “Ask Me Anything” thread to share their experiences. The former employee primarily served under the late Queen Elizabeth II and was on staff for King Charles’s ascension, where they worked during major royal events and met several members of the Royal Family. They said that in their interactions with the Prince and Princess of Wales, it was apparent that “William and Catherine seem to enjoy each other’s company and they seem close.”
The former staff member reported that Princess Kate is “very polite and kind.” They praised the Prince and Princess of Wales for being respectful to all staff, and setting an example for their children. “[Catherine] and William are always gracious to staff, even those that don't work for them directly,” they shared, reporting that Prince William and Princess Kate “always came into the kitchens and any other area to say thank you at the end of their trips, and made sure the children did the same.”
