To become a personal assistant to the Duchess of Cambridge, you need to be a fan of her. The tasks you’ll be expected to complete include helping with administrative tasks for Kate’s private secretary. These include taking minutes in meetings, monitoring emails, and managing her diary.

The position is full time on a permanent contract, and totals to 37.5 hours of work each week. The job advert, which was posted on LinkedIn, specifies that it needs someone with a “high level of professionalism and self-motivation” and the “ability to develop good working relationships.”

It also asks for someone who is “mature, “flexible,” and has proven ability to work under pressure while remaining calm and meeting strict deadlines. But one thing that might shock you a little is what the job is offering for pay - the royal role is offering £27,500 per annum.
