Aroyal commentator recently revealed that the Prince and Princess of Wales refused a specific royal member after their move to Adelaide Cottage.
Robert Hardman, a biographer for the Royals, said Prince William and Kate Middleton have “no room” for a butler in their four-bedroom Windsor home, according to HELLO!
The reason behind the cutback is due to limited space. Hardman wrote: “The couple did not seek to boost the staff numbers at Adelaide Cottage, not least because there would be little room to do so. Reports that the Prince was hiring a valet were knocked back.”
“The Kensington Palace team does include a ‘yeoman,’ a multi-tasking attendant who looks after everything from luggage to uniforms, but there is no ‘gentleman’s gentleman’ on the staff. And certainly no butler,” quoted the media outlet. “It’s very much them at home with the kids.”
The excerpt comes from the biographer’s new book, New King, New Court.
Meanwhile, the palace recently announced that Princess Kate will host her beloved Christmas carol service next month, with the theme of “how much we need each other during difficult times.”
Despite facing cancer in what the couple has described as a brutal year, Kate is expected to be hands-on with the planning of the event as she gradually returns to Royal duties.
The Palace highlighted Kate’s desire for the service to celebrate those who support people through tough times, underlining the power of love and empathy.
