The Prince and Princess of Wales have recently posted a job vacancy for a Welsh-speaking assistant private secretary, sparking significant debate. This new role, essential for coordinating the couple’s public engagements, demands not only fluency in Welsh but also deep knowledge of Welsh communities and governance.

Prince William & Princess Kate Look For A Welsh Speaking- Assistant

The Prince and Princess of Wales are looking for a new assistant private secretary who must be fluent in Welsh. The role requires someone with specific knowledge of Welsh communities, affairs, and government. The new assistant will be key in organising their public engagements across Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.

The new role, based at Kensington Palace, required a good grasp of conversational Welsh. Though the job advertisement has now closed, it’s clear why Welsh skills are important. King Charles, a well-known ‘Welshophile,’ deeply connects with Wales.

RF/ Royals are looking for a Welsh-speaking assistant

The British monarch has lived in Carmarthenshire, studied at Aberystwyth University, and made efforts to speak Welsh, including a recent address to the Senedd. His ties with Wales haven’t always been smooth. The title ‘Prince of Wales’ was originally used by Welsh princes before England conquered Wales in the 13th century. 

Will The Title Be Eliminated?

Many in Wales have argued that this title should be returned or abolished altogether. Even in 1969, the investiture ceremony of the former Prince of Wales was met with protests and a failed bomb plot. After Queen Elizabeth II passed away in 2022, King Charles named Prince William and Catherine the new Prince and Princess of Wales.

Many people in Wales were thrilled by this news, especially since the couple had previously lived as newlyweds on Anglesey. However, this decision sparked renewed calls to abolish the titles. Additionally, a petition was quickly signed by tens of thousands of people.

This job vacancy has undoubtedly highlighted the ongoing debate surrounding the title. For more such updates on the royal family, stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily! As discussions persist, let us see how the new assistant’s role navigates these sensitive issues.
