All royal staff members help working royals with their respective duties and responsibilities. Just like any other senior members of the British Royal Family, Kate Middleton has her own team, too.
Just recently, new changes have emerged within her team. After working through her responsibilities for six months without a right hand, she has now, reportedly, welcomed the new addition to her royal staff. As it happened, she now has a new private secretary, according to Hello! magazine.
Kate Middleton recently welcomed Hannah Cockburn-Logie to her team as her new Private Secretary. Reports said that she will handle and manage the Duchess of Cambridge's "diary" and "meetings."
Alongside the organization aspect of the post, she will also, reportedly, "accompany" the Duchess to her engagements and appearances. These will become more apparent when the lockdown gets lifted, as per claims.
Cockburn-Logie is not entirely new to the royal scene. As stated, she already met and accompanied the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in India and Bhutan last April 2016. It is a possibility that the royal couple were impressed with her, which is why she got the position, the reports added.
For nearly two decades, she, reportedly, worked for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. It is also said that she has spent the majority of her career "representing" the United Kingdom overseas.
In addition, she also, reportedly, received an OBE for her services in the United Kingdom-India relationship, in 2017. Almost a decade prior, she also received an MVO, which is, reportedly, a Royal Victorian Order, from Queen Elizabeth II.
Hanna Cockburn-Logie's arrival to the Duchess' royal staff ends Kate Middleton's work having no Private Secretary to help her, as per 9Honey. As explained, her former right-hand, Catherine Quinn left the post in November 2019 after two years working for the Duchess of Cambridge.
Before Quinn, it was Rebecca Priestly who did the job for the future Queen Consort. She left in 2017 after ten years of working for the British Royal Family.
Kate Middleton is not the only one who has welcomed new changes within her team. Just like his wife, Prince William also had changes in his royal staff amid the pandemic crisis, according to the Daily Express.
As reported, the Duke of Cambridge's Private Secretary, Simon Case, left his post within the Duke's team after two years for a position in No 10. He now works as a "Permanent Secretary" at Downing Street in relation to the response toward the novel coronavirus.
