After months of talks and whispers about Kate Middleton’s seeming lack of a regular job, Prince William’s girlfriend and her family seemed to have addressed the issue directly yet very subtly.
On the front of the website of Party Pieces, the party supply company managed by Kate’s parents, there now appears a tiny photo of Kate, her mom Carole and a company employee. Here’s a screenshot from the company website:
In a newsletter for October ‘08 on the company’s ‘About Us’ page, there is also a detailed description of Kate’s job:
Party Pieces launched First Birthdays at the beginning of the year with Kate managing the project and producing this years catalogues and website. First Birthdays is full of wonderful ideas from party decorations and tableware to keepsakes and personalized products for that very special First Birthday.
In putting this information out, Kate is letting the world know that she is being productive with her time and talents, without having to talk about it at all.
Working at her parent’s company could be the perfect situation for her now. She gets to help her parents and protect her privacy. Furthermore, she can’t be accused of using her royal connections to land employment benefits and she also has flexibility in her schedule.
