The one unexpected job Princess Kate had – ‘wasn’t very good at it’ | Royal | News
Princess Kate has a wealth of skills, from sports to her effortless role at royal engagements. However, there is a job the Princess took on while at university, which she says she wasn’t very good at. According to People, like many other students, Kate also balanced a job with her classes.
In 2019, she appeared on the BBC special of A Berry Royal Christmas and revealed that she briefly worked as a waiter. He joked on the show that he wasn’t very good at it! People are reporting that Princess Kate served cocktails at a dry bar hosted by the charity Action on Addiction. “It reminds me a bit of my college days working as a waitress,” Kate told Mary Berry.
When asked if the former The Great British Baking Show judge was any good on the show, Kate replied: “No, I was very bad.”
Kate studied at the University of St Andrews, where she met Prince William and her journey to becoming part of the royal family began.
Before officially joining the royal family in 2011, she held several jobs, including working as an accessories buyer for Jigsaw.
At the time of joining Jigsaw, a company spokesperson confirmed that Kate had joined the team.
Speaking to confirm the appointment, they said at the time: “We can confirm that Kate joined our team as a prop buyer for Jigsaw and Jigsaw Junior two or three weeks ago. We cannot comment further.”
Like others in the family business, Kate previously worked at her parents’ party supplies company, Party Pieces.
The mother of three, who was responsible for helping the family grow the business that sold everything from balloons to banners, left her parents’ company in 2011.
Speaking about her decision to leave, the then royal aide said she planned to “focus full-time on preparing to become a member of the Royal Family”.
Now married to Prince William, Kate’s job is to attend various royal engagements in the UK and abroad.
In her 2020 book, True Royalty’s Kate: The Making of a Future Queen, Katie Nicholl says: “A future Queen has two roles. One is to produce heirs made by her, and the other is to learn how to be a Queen one day, and that’s exactly what we see. We see a Queen in waiting.”
