Royal couple Kate Middleton and Prince William are parting ways with a trusted staffer after over 15 years of service. Natasha Archer, who has been Kate’s personal assistant since 2010, is leaving Kensington Palace to start her own private consultancy.
Archer began working for the royal couple when both were just 43 and quickly became an integral part of their team. She played a key role in Kate’s fashion journey, helping her transition from a reluctant fashion icon to a more confident style leader.
In 2014, Vanity Fair praised Archer’s influence on Middleton’s fashion sense, saying she “helps source some of the clothes” and encouraged Kate to take more risks with her style. The news comes as no surprise after last summer’s promotion of Archer to senior private executive assistant for both William and Middleton.
Archer is leaving a significant void in the royal household but will receive a warm farewell from the Waleses, who have expressed their well-wishes ahead of her new business venture. Archer will now focus on building her own consultancy, while also balancing family life with husband Chris Jackson, a Getty royal photographer, and their two children.
