Kate Middleton was without private secretary for over a year since the departure of her employee, Hannah Cockburn-Logie
Kate Middleton is reportedly contemplating Lieutenant Colonel Tom White, a distinguished war hero and former equerry to the late Queen Elizabeth II, as her potential private secretary.
Acknowledged for thwarting a Taliban bomb plot in Afghanistan, the 36-year-old father has been invited by the Princess of Wales to accompany her at a public engagement, providing him with a firsthand understanding of the associated responsibilities.
Although Lt Col White has not been formally appointed, sources suggest that he is likely to accept the position.
If confirmed, this groundbreaking appointment would shatter tradition, marking the inaugural instance of a male assuming the role of private secretary in Kensington Palace.
