Hear ye, hear ye! The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are looking for a loyal, discreet housekeeper for their ten-bedroom pile in Norfolk.
In an ad placed in The Lady, Prince William and Kate Middleton list the requirements for the Mrs Hughes-to-be:
Housekeeper sought for a large family home in Norfolk. We are looking for someone with previous housekeeping experience, ideally within a large private house, and preferably within a family environment with dogs.
Main 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. On occasions, the role will also involve the preparation of meals, assisting with childcare and caring for dogs.
Discretion and loyalty is paramount and a current valid UK driving licence is essential.
The Housekeeper will be required Monday to Friday, but with the flexibility to work during the weekend on occasion, and to work additional hours if ever required.
Self-contained accommodation will be provided (suitable for a couple). The partner may be offered ad hoc maintenance work, although there is no guaranteed work provided for them.
Please apply with full CV, and covering letter with your salary expectations.
What are the chances of turning this into a reality TV competition like The Bachelor? Britain's Next Top Housekeeper? Housekeeper Island?
Make it happen!
