THE Princess of Wales has revealed her very normal job before joining the Royal Family, jokingly admitting she was ”terrible” at it.
Kate Middleton, 43, previously held down a waitressing role whilst studying at the University of St Andrews in Scotland.

Although the mum-of-three has had a few other jobs prior to officially becoming a member of the Royal Family in 2011, including working as an accessories buyer at Jigsaw, Kate also held a little known role as a waitress whilst at university.
Princess 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 husband Prince William, 42, and baking guru Mary Berry, 89.
After serving mocktails at a dry bar, Kate told Mary that “it reminded me of my university days when I did a bit of waitressing”.
As reported by the Mirror, the food writer then went on to ask if she was any good at the job, to which Kate candidly replied: “No, I was terrible!”
At the time that she joined the fashion brand Jigsaw, a spokesperson for the company confirmed that the royal had joined the team.
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, Princess Kate has also previously worked for her parents’ party supplies company, Party Pieces.
The mum-of-three – who helped her mum and dad, Carole and Michael, sell 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 Kate was planning to “concentrate full-time on preparing to become a member of the Royal Family”.
As a member of the Royal Family, the 43-year-old has now reportedly been offered a chance to feature on global covers of Vogue – including the UK and the US – reported the Express.
Beaming Kate arrives on schoolbus hand-in-hand with kids on trip to art gallery – after sharing pic taken by Louis, 6, to mark World Cancer Day
This comes after Kate assumed the role of teacher as she cuddled up to beaming kids during a school trip earlier this month.
The Princess of Wales was joined by young children for an interactive trail at the National Portrait Gallery in London.
The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood launched Kate’s Shaping Us Framework on Sunday.
The new project aims to raise awareness and understanding of the importance of social and emotional skills across society.
Pupils from All Souls CE Primary School in London were the first children to take part in The Bobeam Tree Trail, which saw them journey through the Gallery.
It uses portraits as the basis for a range of activities and the trail is based on a magical tree, which has grown inside the National Portrait Gallery.
She accompanied them as they drew self-portraits – an exercise to encourage them to think about their own stories.
Kate Middleton’s affectionate nickname for father-in-law King Charles
HE may be the King of England to us regular folk, but Charles is just ‘grandpa’ to his daughter-in-law Kate Middleton.
Princess Kate appeared to have used the moniker for her father-in-law during a meeting at the G7 summit in 2021, according to a lip reader.
Upon arriving, the duchess greeted her father-in-law, and a lip reader told CornwallLive that she said: “Hello Grandpa, how are you?”
King Charles is grandfather to Kate and William’s three adorable kids – Princes George and Louis and cheeky Princess Charlotte – so the name is only fitting.
His Majesty reportedly has a couple of affectionate names for Kate, including “beloved daughter-in-law” and “darling daughter-in-law.”
This is the first project to be created based on the new Shaping Us Framework from The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood.
And her first Shaping Us engagement since November 2023.
The Prince and Princess of Wales shared a video of the day on their social media.
It showed Kate introducing herself to the children before asking them whether they were all wearing their seat belts.
She could also be seen smiling and listening to the youngsters during the journey there.
After strolling in hand-in-hand, Kate knelt beside the children as they looked at the new exhibit.
The post read: “Working with @earlychildhood to launch the new #ShapingUs framework. The Bobeam Tree Trail is just one example of how organisations can empower children to thrive emotionally and socially.
“With initiatives like this at the@NPGLondon, the foundation is laid for the next generation to grow into confident, compassionate individuals.
“The Centre for Early Childhood is also working with organisations across a variety of sectors, on how the framework can be used to promote social and emotional skills across society.”
