Social media has been sent into an absolute tizzy this week after it was reported that William and Kate have posted a ‘staff wanted’ advertisement.
The couple, who are preparing to welcome their second child in the coming weeks, have reportedly placed an advert in The Lady for a “discreet and loyal housekeeper”.
It has been reported that the advertisement for an “experienced housekeeper for a large family home in Norfolk” is in fact for the couple’s family home.
“Housekeeper sought for a large family home in Norfolk,” the advert reads.
The couple pictured recently.
“We are looking for someone with previous experience, within a large private house, and preferably within a family environment with dogs.”
It goes on to add that other duties will include: “cleaning all areas of the house to a high standard; caring for and maintaining the home owners’ clothing; cleaning silverware and glassware’ purchasing groceries and general provisions for the house; and dealing with deliveries; assisting with childcare and caring for dogs.
“Discretion and loyalty is paramount,” it states.
The couple are expecting their second child next month.
A spokesperson for the magazine stated: “I can’t comment on any individual advertisement, but The Lady has been putting households and the very best domestic staff in touch for 130 years.
“Princes use The Lady, paupers use The Lady, they’ve even used The Lady in Downton Abbey. I wouldn’t be the slightest bit surprised if Mary Poppins herself called to place an ad.”
