In a big turnaround towards recovery, King Charles III has resumed his official duties with renewed vigor after facing a health challenge.
During this recovery period, speculation about the future of the British monarchy intensified, with attention turning to Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, as potential immediate successors.
Royal experts have theorized in British media about the possibility that, once crowned, the Princess could appoint her sister Pippa Middleton to a position of trust.
Pippa Middleton’s new job
This role would be that of a lady-in-waiting to the Queen, a position steeped in tradition in European courts, especially during the Middle Ages.
Historically, ladies-in-waiting performed intimate tasks such as assisting royalty with dressing and personal hygiene.
Although their responsibilities have evolved over time, they remain fundamental in supporting the sovereigns in the British monarchy.
Currently, as Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton does not have ladies-in-waiting, but it is anticipated that, upon ascending to the throne, she could select individuals from her inner circle for such roles.
Royal commentators agree that Pippa Middleton could be a likely choice for this honor.
Kate Williams, a renowned UK presenter and historian, suggested on “True Royalty TV” that, given Kate’s close relationship with her family, it is plausible that Pippa would be considered for the position. Williams also highlighted the evolution of the role of the royal consort, which now encompasses its own agenda and significant commitments.
The royal expert mentioned that with Kate’s ascension to the throne, the demand for assistance in state visits, correspondence, and receptions will continue, likely leading her to appoint several ladies-in-waiting.
It is important to consider that Pippa Middleton, with an established life, a husband, and three children, may deeply reflect before assuming a role of such magnitude and responsibility.
Pippa has forged a career as a columnist and has ventured into other fields related to communication, with her academic background in English Literature from the University of Edinburgh.
In 2021, she took an entrepreneurial step by founding ‘Pippa’s Playground’, a company dedicated to health and wellness, offering services such as homeopathy, massages, hydrotherapy, and acupuncture.
The question that arises is whether she would be willing to leave her job to support her sister in a potential reign.
