Prince William has finally made up his mind about hiring a new press secretary for the Kensington Palace office that represents not only him, but also Kate Middleton and Prince Harry. Jason Knauf has taken on the larger than life job and will officially be joining the royals at the start of next year. He is an American that currently has managed to guide the Royal Bank of Scotland Group through a sea of scandals, including a billion dollar bailout by the government. -
Kate Middleton and Prince William Scrambling to Find a New Press Secretary for Their Kensington Palace Office
Working as the official press secretary for Prince William, Kate Middleton and Prince Harry would be a great gig ... if anyone could actually land it. Their former media-handler left his position nearly two months ago, and while a string of extremely qualified candidates have been interviewed for the job, Prince William is reportedly making the process difficult.According to "The Daily Mail," securing a new PR person has become extremely tedious.Former BBC producer Ed Perkins quit Kensington Palace more than seven weeks ago, after only two years as their press secretary, and Prince William, Kate and [Prince] Harry have still not found a suitable candidate to succeed him."It's a nightmare," claims a senior courtier to the "Mail." "Prince William does not take advice readily — let's put it like that. Several well-qualified candidates have been ruled out." -
NBC's 'Today' Hoping to Land Exclusive First Joint American Interview with Kate Middleton and Prince William Later This Year
NBC is sure working hard to get in good with the royal family. First the network scored an exclusive interview last summer with Pippa Middleton, and that went so well that Kate Middleton's sister is now said to be in contention for a spot with "The Today Show" as a lifestyles correspondent. Now we are hearing that "Today" is also working hard to try and secure the first joint American interview with Middleton and her husband, Prince William.We told you the other day that the young couple is planning to travel to the States in a few weeks and will be spending time in New York City. There is also a pretty good chance that little Prince George will be traveling with them, and it is an opportunity that NBC is dying to take full advantage of. ABC is also supposedly vying for a similar interview, but because of Pippa's connection with "Today," it seems more likely that they would agree to grant that morning show their first interview. -
Prince William and Kate Middleton Visiting NYC in Late November, Prince George May Also Join Them for Big Apple Tour
There is an ever-so-slight chance that New Yorkers might actually catch a glimpse of little Prince George later this month. It was revealed earlier this fall that Prince William was planning on visiting New York City, and at that time his wife, Kate Middleton, was knee-deep in morning sickness. She was canceling scheduled royal appearances on a weekly basis back then and the royals were not sure if Middleton was going to remain ill right up until the day she delivered her second child. Luckily, in recent weeks Middleton has rebounded. She is still not 100 percent, but she is well enough to put on a gown and smile for a few hours.Middleton is also fairly desperate to make up for all those missed appearances, mainly because she hates letting Queen Elizabeth down. She has traveled a bit recently, proving that she is capable of doing so, and because of that Middleton is now expected to tour NYC with her husband in late November. There are also rumors that Prince George may also accompany his parents to the Big Apple. The future heir to the throne's last official trip with his parents was last April, when the family spent nearly a month Down Under. -
Kate Middleton Suffers Through Remembrance Sunday Appearance Beside Her Enemy, Camilla Parker-Bowles
Now here is something that we have not seen in a while: an appearance with Kate Middleton and Camilla Parker-Bowles in attendance! Clearly, there is absolutely no love lost between these two, and the awkwardness between them as they solemnly stood together for Remembrance Sunday was palpable. Middleton must be feeling a lot better because otherwise that nasty morning sickness would have been a great excuse to avoid this public appearance. Instead, the duchess pulled out her new Alexander McQueen coat, put on her hat and suffered through the event beside her enemy.The rivalry between Middleton and Parker-Bowles is epic and it is basically because Prince William's wife is everything Parker-Bowles will never be. While Middleton was born a commoner, she has been easily accepted into the royal family, but Parker-Bowles's 30-year fling with Prince Charles sat so badly with Queen Elizabeth that even after they finally married her presence is something still barely tolerated by the royals. -
Will Pippa Middleton Become the Newest 'Today Show' Correspondent?
Apparently, Pippa Middleton made such an impression on NBC after sitting for an interview last summer that the network has been courting her for a job. Kate Middleton's younger sister taped an interview with Matt Lauer for "The Today Show" that aired in June and the ratings were spectacular. The numbers confirmed what the network had already known: Americans love royals, even if they are only a married-in extension of the monarchy. Kate's marriage to Prince William has caused enormous interest in Pippa and NBC is hopeful that they will be able to add her as a new correspondent to Today.According to a new report by Page Six, Pippa has been working on a test piece in Utah and, if all goes well, then it will sign her to do special reports on subjects like health and fitness. -
Queen Elizabeth Forced Kate Middleton Back to Work after a Collapse Due to Severe Sickness: Royal Duty Comes First!
Kate Middleton may be royalty, but that has not made her exempt from a serious bout of morning sickness while carrying baby No. 2. We know Middleton was also briefly sick while carrying Prince George nearly two years ago, but this time around seems more serious. Several reports are now saying the duchess recently collapsed after a long night of sickness, leaving Prince William to insist his wife have an aide nearby at all times. Middleton has also taken several weeks off from her royal duties do to her sickness, but Queen Elizabeth recently insisted it was time for Middleton to begin showing up again. In her mind, royal duty comes first — period. -
Kate Middleton Reportedly Staying with Middleton Family While Fighting with Prince William
Kate Middleton and Prince William always seem so incredibly tight when they show up for a personal appearance that it is easy to forget they are, at root, a normal, married couple. That means they have to inevitably have some fights here and there, right? This cannot be an easy time for them, either. Middleton just started her second trimester of pregnancy and seems to be recovering after weeks of acute morning sickness — plus, she has a busy toddler on her hands. William has been doing royal double-time, taking over some of his wife's missed royal appearances while continuing to carry out his normal duties. Things have reportedly been tense — so tense that the couple has spent a lot of time apart, with Middleton staying with her family. -
Kate Middleton Looks Unwell During First Public Appearance at Buckingham Palace in Months
Kate Middleton finally made it out the door for a public appearance! She and Prince William were on hand at Buckingham Palace today to help Queen Elizabeth greet the president of Singapore, Tony Tan Keng Yam. Middleton looked extremely thin in a plaid Alexander McQueen coat dress, and sources say this is hopefully the start of the duchess being able to resume some of her regular duties. Today was actually her first public sighting since Aug. 7, and it is clear from the photos that Middleton is still a little bit unwell. -
Queen Elizabeth Snubs Kate Middleton's Family By Not Inviting Them To Traditional Christmas Day Lunch
Queen Elizabeth has rewritten many old royal traditions or at least she has been willing to bend a lot of the stuffy old rules in order to accommodate younger members of the family. Kate Middleton's marriage to Prince William is believed to be the catalyst for all of changes and Elizabeth's willingness to slowly but surely take steps to pull the monarchy out of the dark ages. One yearly tradition includes the family gathering at Elizabeth's Sandringham House for lunch on Christmas day. While Kate, William and little Prince George have already been invited to this years' occasion, the rest of the Middleton family has been left off of the guest list. -
Kate Middleton Still Battling Morning Sickness, May Stay Out Of Sight Until After Second Child's Birth In April
Kate Middleton has been out of commission for nearly 6 weeks now. Morning sickness while carrying her second child has completely taken control of the duchess' life, leaving no choice for Kensington Palace but to continue canceling engagements and clearing her schedule. When she was pregnant with Prince George nearly two years ago Middleton suffered a severe bout of sickness, resulting in hospitalization, but it only lasted a few weeks. This time is completely different and it is leading some in the royal loop to speculate that Middleton may stay MIA until she has her baby next April. -
