Prince William and Princess Kate Middleton are looking to expand by hiring a new member for Team Wales.
Eagle-eyed royal watchers noticed The Household of TRH The Prince and Princess of Wales was accepting applications for a Correspondence Specialist on LinkedIn. After five days on the platform — the job listing was posted earlier this month — they are no longer accepting applications.
With a barrage of letters coming to the Prince and Princess of Wales, especially as Kate, 42, continues to undergo cancer treatments, it seems fitting that they are looking to hire someone who can deal with all that mail. Kate even thanked supporters for their continued well wishes — in the form of a letter.
Kate announced in March that she had been diagnosed with cancer. By April, it was widely reported that the Princess was sending typed thank you notes to members of the public, responding to those sending letters of support to Kensington Palace in the wake of her health struggles.
“I have been blown away by all the kind messages of support and encouragement over the last couple of months,” Kate shared in a statement on June 14.
