The Queen is searching for a painter and decorator to provide a makeover to Buckingham Palace. A maximum salary of £30,000 is waiting for the successful candidate, who has until April 3 to apply for the 40-hour-a-week job, reports The Metro.
It looks to be part of a £369 million taxpayer-funded renovation of the location, due to be completed in 2027. Buckingham Palace has not been decorated since 1952, when the Queen ascended to the throne.
And despite improvements being made to the 775-room building, the monarch is set to make Windsor Castle her permanent home and will never fully return to London. The job advert for the decorator, posted on the Royal Household’s website, reads: "It’s adding the decorative finishes, for people to appreciate for years to come. It’s feeling inspired to deliver to the very highest standards, and it’s the pride in joining a team at the heart of a world-famous institution.
