Buckingham Palace is reportedly recruiting a communications assistant amid the PR disaster that has engulfed the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton.
Although the timing of the job listing coincides with conspiracy theories surrounding Kate’s health and whereabouts, it is unlikely to be linked to the princess as Kensington Palace handles her affairs, not Buckingham.

Amid a series of recent media challenges, Buckingham Palace is actively recruiting a full-time communications assistant within its Private Secretary department.
The less lucrative position offers a Monday through Friday schedule with an annual salary of $32,000. According to the job posting, benefits include 25 days annual leave, a pension plan and a 20% discount at Royal Collection Trust gift shops across England.
Responsibilities entail promoting “the work, role, relevance and values of the Royal Family to a worldwide audience.”
“The reaction to our work is always high-profile, so reputation and impact will be at the forefront of everything you do. Whether working on state visits, ceremonial events or royal engagements, you will ensure our communications consistently spark interest and reach diverse audiences,” the memo added.
The job posting also states that the ideal candidate must have “excellent interpersonal skills” and be able to “thrive in a fast-paced and dynamic environment,” as the role requires content generation across multiple social media channels, while offering administrative support and media access oversight during the royal ceremony.
New Job Comes Amid Kate Middleton’s PR Fiasco

The timing of the job listing has sparked outrage over the PR nightmare that has plagued the Princess of Wales since she released a Photoshopped image of herself and her children to mark Mother’s Day.
The Photoshop scandal was so bad that leading news agencies around the world issued “kill” notices, asking that the image be removed from all their platforms due to “manipulation.”
Kate eventually issued an apology for the “confusion” she caused by “editing” a Mother’s Day photo, but it wasn’t enough to stop the conspiracy theories surrounding her health.
In an attempt to quell the rumours, the princess was spotted with her husband, Prince William, visiting her favorite farm stand, the Windsor Farm Shop.
Unfortunately, even the princess’s video hasn’t slowed down the speculation and conspiracy theories, as some royal fans are now claiming that it’s a double body or a Kate look-alike in the farm stand clip.

Palace sources stressed that the post was for Buckingham Palace, the office of King Charles III and Queen Camilla, and was not related to the media scandal swirling around Princess of Wales Kate Middleton.
Amidst his ongoing cancer treatment, Charles III and Queen Camilla remain active, with the monarch continuing royal duties despite unsubstantiated online rumors of his death by Russian media.
Recently, Charles arrived at Clarence House, in the middle of his cancer treatment, looking cheerful as he hosted Korean War veterans at Buckingham Palace, marking the 70th anniversary of the conflict.
Following this, the royal family will host a reception for around 200 Korean War veterans in the Bow Room of Buckingham Palace. Princess Anne, Princess Royal, will host alongside Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, delivering a speech on behalf of the monarch.

The public engagement was intended to dispel health rumors swirling about Charles’s health since his cancer diagnosis in February, reassuring royal fans of his well-being.
However, despite his gradual return to his official duties, Charles has scaled back his royal engagements as he continues to receive outpatient treatment for his ill health.
The King remains keen to attend the upcoming Trooping the Color celebrations in June, despite the potential adjustment to tradition.
Palace sources suggest that Charles may opt to be driven in a carriage to the June 15 ceremony rather than on horseback. This modification allowed him to observe the event from the podium, accommodating his health needs while maintaining his commitment to royal duties.

During her visit to Northern Ireland, Camilla assured the public that Charles was “doing very well” and expressed her disappointment at missing the visit.
As she met with business owners and received local produce on his behalf, Camilla expressed her gratitude to Charles for his thoughtful gesture from the community.
Interacting with locals who joked about men “not being the best patients,” the queen humorously replied: “I try to keep him in order.” Camilla added: “She was very upset she couldn’t come.”
During her visit, Camilla stopped at Arcadia, an old diner on Lisburn Road that has been around since 1933. At the shop, she was treated to a variety of local delicacies, including charcuterie, cheese and Irish black butter.
