Kate Middleton Duchess of Cambridge advertises LinkedIn job for new assistant

The Duchess of Cambridge is advertising for a new personal assistant. And while the pay's not great, one can imagine that it'll be an unusual job.

There's one catch thought - you need to be a fan. The role, released by Kate's royal household, will support her official and charitable work.

The gig involves admin and operational duties, helping the assistant private secretary to manage diaries, monitor emails and take minutes. It's based at Kensington Palace and offers a not-especially-attractive £27,500 a year, reports MyLondon.

It's a full time job, working 37.5 hours a week on a permanent contract. The job advert on LinkedIn says they are wanting someone who has "previous secretarial and administrative experience", as well as excellent skill in IT, organisation and written and spoken communications.

But all the above won't mean you'll make the cut as the ad also implies you should be a fan of Kate and her husband, Prince William, to secure the role. One of the criteria for the position is that you'll have "an awareness of, and interest in, TRH The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's work and activities".

If you think you could be the right fit for the job, which has already had more than 200 applicants through LinkedIn alone, then you have until May 12 to apply.
