Kate Middleton’s Subtle Gesture for One of Her BFFs Proves How Strong Her Inner Circle Is

Amid Catherine, Princess of Wales, better known as Kate Middleton’s absence from the public eye, the rumor mill has been going strong, especially on X. Many think she’s dead still, and many believe she’s isolated herself entirely from her inner circle during her cancer battle. Well, she’s not dead, and her inner circle seems stronger than ever. Not only have insiders told many about how she’s been relying on them throughout her battle; but this small gesture shows she truly has her best friends by her side.

Eagle-eyed sleuths at the DailyMail noticed something: one of Kate’s best friends, and trusted advisors, got a promotion.

It seems that Kate gave her friend and stylist, Natasha Archer, a promotion from Personal Assistant to Kate and William to Senior Private Executive.

While Archer updated her LinkedIn profile the past week, this promotion seemingly came in on Aug 2022. She described her duties as “clothing,” “diaries,” and “projects.”

“Natasha deserves this boost — she’s unfailingly discreet and loyal to Kate. The salary boost will be welcome too. This appointment means we can expect to see Natasha by Kate’s side for years to come,” a source told the outlet. “It seems to be Kate’s way of thanking her for her loyalty.”

Now, Archer has been with the royal family since 2007, working as a PA for the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester. She transitioned to working for the Wales family in 2010, and has gotten quite close with Kate.

Along with being in her inner circle, Archer was “one of the first people to arrive at the hospital when Kate gave birth to Prince George and Princess Charlotte,” according to POPSUGAR.
