Princess Kate deprived of her loyal associate - Royal companion withdraws service from Princess Kate
In a significant shift for the royal household, it has been reported that Princess Kate is parting ways with her long-time personal assistant, Natasha Archer, after 15 years of service at Kensington Palace. Archer, who has been a crucial figure in the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's team, is set to launch her own private consultancy in London [1][2][3].
Archer, who began working for William and Kate in 2010, was promoted to senior private executive assistant in 2022. Beyond managing diaries and projects, Archer played a pivotal role in shaping Kate's iconic style for royal tours, events, and day-to-day engagements, contributing significantly to the "Kate Middleton effect" on British fashion and the economy [3].
The "Times" has reported on Archer's role as an assistant and unofficial stylist to Princess Kate, crediting her eye for detail for her contributions to Kate's fashion choices [1][2]. Archer's work history with the royal family predates their engagement, and her role expanded to include an unofficial stylist position for Princess Kate [1][2].
Archer's role as an assistant to the royal family extends beyond Princess Kate. She was often seen by Kate's side, such as when Kate was discharged from the hospital after her cancer operation in January 2024 [1][2]. The news about Princess Kate and Natasha Archer was also reported by "People" magazine [1][2].
However, neither Archer nor the palace has commented on the matter [1][2]. No further comments have been provided by either party regarding the separation [1][2]. Despite this, Archer's departure marks a major change in the Prince and Princess of Wales's household, with Prince William and Kate Middleton wishing her well for her exciting new opportunities ahead [1][2][3].
Archer’s next career move is to establish a private consultancy group, leveraging her extensive experience and contacts [1][2]. This transition signifies a significant milestone after a decade and a half of invaluable royal service.
