Prince William and Duchess Kate are looking for domestic help.
And, according to the job description, this must be kept secret: "Maintaining confidentiality and exercising discretion is of the utmost importance at all times."
Not only does the new place of residence make the job attractive, employees also have the opportunity to travel.
In addition, one should do one's job with "pride".
Otherwise, the requirements of the job offer do not differ very much from other advertisements: The candidate should be experienced, flexible, organized and able to cope with a "varied workload".
Contrary to some expectations, the position is apparently not paid generously, at least that's what the tabloid "Mirror" reports.
The annual salary for the domestic help job is said to be 19,140 British pounds.
This is equivalent to EUR 21,111, i.e. around 1,759 euros per month.
For this one can live in the palace, writes the tabloid.
The sum is probably not entirely unrealistic: Housekeeping is also being sought for Windsor Castle - the salary is 19,140 British pounds according to the tender.
In any case, a debate flared up on Twitter about whether that wasn't too little.
William, Kate and their three children currently split their time between the Kensington Palace and Notes Hall residences in Norfolk.
