The Princess of Wales previously held down a waitressing role whilst studying at the University Of St Andrews.
Although she has had a few jobs prior to officially joining the Royal Family in 2011, including working as an accessories buyer at Jigsaw, she also held a little known role as a waitress whilst at university.
Kate previously opened up about her part-time role while appearing on the BBC special A Berry Royal Christmas in 2019, where she appeared alongside Prince William and Mary Berry.
After serving mocktails at a dry bar organised by the charity Action on Addiction, Kate told Mary that “it reminded me of my university days when I did a bit of waitressing”.
As reported by the Mirror, Mary then went on to ask if she was good at the job, to which Kate candidly replied: “No, I was terrible!”
At the time that she joined Jigsaw, a spokesperson for the company confirmed that Kate had joined the team. Speaking to confirm the appointment, they said at the time: “We can confirm that Kate joined our staff two or three weeks ago as an accessory buyer for Jigsaw and Jigsaw Junior. We can’t comment any further.”
Much like others with family businesses, Kate has previously worked for her parents’ party supplies company, Party Pieces.
The now-mum-of-three – who was responsible for helping the family grow the business which sold everything from balloons to banners – left her parents’ company in 2011. Speaking of her decision to depart, a royal aide at the time said that she was planning to “concentrate full-time on preparing to become a member of the Royal Family”.
After attempts to sell, refinance and secure investment at Party Pieces failed, it then collapsed and was bought out of administration by entrepreneur James Sinclair.
As a member of the Royal Family, Kate has now reportedly been offered a chance to feature on global covers of Vogue – including the UK and the US.
