Prince William and Kate Middleton receive delicate news they weren't expecting

Kensington Palace has experienced an unexpected change following news about someone close to them. This has come at a time when the Princess of Wales is beginning to resume her schedule after a difficult period of health. This decision has taken the royal family and their close circle by surprise, although it has been handled calmly and respectfully.

Natasha Archer has decided to end her long professional association with the Prince and Princess of Wales to start a new project. According to People magazine, Archer chose to leave her position after fifteen years fully dedicated to Kate and William. Her decision is due to a personal desire for change and to establish a private consultancy.

Beyond the professional relationship, Natasha and Kate maintain a strong and discreet friendship. Archer has been by the princess's side during the most important moments, both at family celebrations and in difficult circumstances. She was the one who accompanied Kate after her surgery in January 2024, supporting her during her recovery.

The assistant's influence on Kate's public image has been remarkable over the years. She began working for the Royal Household in 2007 and, over time, took charge of the princess's styling and wardrobe management. Thanks to her work, the princess has become a fashion icon, with her outfits selling out quickly after each public appearance.

In recognition of her work, the Prince and Princess of Wales named her private executive assistant. In addition, in 2018, she received the Royal Victorian Order, an honorary distinction granted by Queen Elizabeth II. Her professional career has been established as an example of commitment and discretion within the Palace.

Natasha's association with the royal family also extends to her personal life. She is married to Chris Jackson, official photographer of the Royal Household, who has captured numerous historic moments for more than twenty years. Together they celebrated their wedding in France in 2017 and have two children, whose births have coincided with those of the Prince and Princess of Wales.

This end of an era marks a new beginning for the royal assistant, who is committed to her professional growth outside Kensington Palace. Meanwhile, William and Kate are facing this news with discretion and continue with their institutional responsibilities. The princess's right hand leaves a legacy of loyalty and dedication that will endure in the British Royal Household.
