Princess Kate Middleton recently appointed Lt. Col. Tom White as her new private secretary, drawing attention for his resemblance to tennis star Roger Federer. White, who previously served as the late Queen Elizabeth's equerry, is well-versed in working for the royal family. He joined Princess Kate's team after a stint with the Royal Marines, where he notably helped prevent a school bombing in Afghanistan in 2009.
White's appointment signifies a return to tradition for the royal household, reflecting their close ties to the military. Princess Kate's previous private secretaries include Hannah Cockburn-Logie and Catherine Quinn, with whom she reportedly parted on good terms.
