Princess Kate rewards ally after cancer support

Princess of Wales’ trusted confidante promoted after steadfast support during cancer treatment.

One of Princess Kate's closest confidantes, Natasha Archer, has been promoted to a senior role after supporting Kate through her cancer treatment.

According to the Mirror, previously serving as Kate's PA and personal stylist, Natasha is now the senior private executive assistant for the royal couple. This news came to light after Natasha updated her LinkedIn profile to reflect her new position.

Known for accompanying Kate on royal tours and managing her wardrobe, the 36-year-old Natasha has been a steadfast supporter during challenging times. She was seen at the London Clinic in January following Kate's abdominal surgery, indicating her ongoing support, the Mirror reports. 

Natasha has been with Kate for 17 years, even before Kate married into the royal family, solidifying their deep friendship and professional bond.

Royal author Claudia Joseph described Natasha as a "tower of strength" for Kate. "Natasha has been by Kate's side for major life events, including royal weddings, births, and overseas tours," said Joseph.

Natasha is married to Getty royal photographer Chris Jackson and maintains a low profile with their two sons.

Princess Kate has been absent from public engagements since Christmas due to her cancer treatment. While initially expected to return to duties after Easter, no official date has been set, and Kate recently announced she would miss Trooping the Colour.
