While Prince Harry and Megan are trying to take root in Canada, the remaining dukes of Cambridge in the UK have hired a new PR specialist who previously worked for the British government. Gazeta.Ru - about how William and Katherine cope without the Dukes of Sussex.
The Dukes of Cambridge expand their staff in connection with an increase in the duties of members of the royal family. After the Dukes of Sussex refused to do business entrusted to them by the Queen, and left for Canada, most of their tasks were transferred to the elder brother of Prince Harry and his wife. In January, Prince William and Kate found a new director of public relations for their Royal Foundation to cope with the amount of charity work.
Evening Standard reported that the dukes offered a job to a former employee of the British government apparatus, Edwin Idls. The source of the news portal, who introduced himself as a close friend of Iddles, noted in an interview that for an ex-public servant, the vacancy became the embodiment of her dream.

Of all those involved in scheduling the most popular members of the Windsor family, the PR specialist is the most sought after person. PR specialists communicate with the press and are also responsible for publishing official messages on behalf of Buckingham and Kesington Palace, which remains the only method of communication with the media in a house that lives on the principle of "never complain, never explain."
The PR structure of the royal court began its work in 2009, when the two children of Prince Charles and Princess Diana were not yet married and did not even imagine that someday they would be engaged in different projects because of family discord. It was originally planned that the organization would become the basis for the charitable foundations of William and Harry, and when the elder brother married Kate Middleton in 2011, she became the third patron. The same thing happened in 2018 when Meghan Markle joined the family.
However, with the advent of the American Windsor, significant changes were expected, and at the beginning of last year it was announced that the Royal Foundation would be divided, because the Dukes of Sussex want to pursue their own initiatives without reference to the "elders".
At the same time, Buckingham Palace made a statement in which it explained that the activities of Megan and Harry would be held under the auspices of the Sussex Royal The Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Kate and William, in turn, did not create a separate name corresponding to their title, and remained in the original “Royal Fund”, although most of the employees changed.
Since the Royal Dukes of Cambridge remained in charge of the affairs of the Royal Foundation, his specialization has shifted to the issues of mental health, environmental protection, early development of children, assistance to military personnel, as well as youth. In total, the charity projects with which the royal couple cooperates now consists of 15 campaigns of various kinds. Their area of responsibility will now increase significantly.

Even with the double volume of employees of the competent representatives of this line of the royal family, there are only two, and do not forget that William and Kate have three children with whom they consider it necessary to spend as much time as possible.
Prince William passed a sufficient number of duties of his father and grandmother before the New Year.
The process of the gradual transfer of affairs from senior to younger was adopted by the relatives of Elizabeth II, so that at the right time it would be possible to inherit not only titles, but also duties without unnecessary stress. In November 2019, Prince William attended a charity reception to raise funds for ambulances, where he told rock musician Eric Clapton that he spends all his free time sleeping. He made a reservation that he tries to see George, Charlotte and Louis as often as possible, when he does not need to do his main job, but there is no more strength left for the hobby. Now they may no longer be left to sleep.
