It's certainly not the salary (just under 25,000 pounds or $43,000 CAD per year), or some of the benefits officially attached to the position (25 days annual leave, a pension scheme and a 20% discount at Royal Collection Trust shops across the UK) that risk applying to waiting lists.

Low salary compared to the cost of living in London, less than 1,000 pounds ($1,700 CAD) a month (yes, in shared accommodation) and it's hard to find a decent room in a more or less central area and in the country. Inflation hit 11% last October and has barely slowed since then. All this did not protect him from the temptations of the profession, which did not fail to produce proximity to events connected with the English court. Especially in a country where the royal family has made scooping the national sport.

Indeed, responsibilities attached to the function include promoting “the work, role, relevance and value of the royal family to a global audience”.

“Reaction to our work is always high, so reputation and impact are at the heart of everything you do,” the job description says. Whether it's a state visit, a formal event or a royal engagement, you'll ensure our communications always spark interest and reach a wide audience. »

The timing of the announcement is linked to the palace's communication problems, which include the health of King Charles III, who is suffering from cancer, which the public knows nothing about, and the confusion surrounding Princess Catherine's unspecified illness, which is putting the country in the red. Beware of rumours, rumors and other conspiracy illusions.

Not an easy position, therefore!
