Royal Gig: Prince Harry And Meghan Markle​ Are Hiring

LOS ANGELES, CA — What could be better than marrying the prince and living happily ever after? Managing his Twitter feed. Prince Harry and fiancée Meghan Markle are hiring a communications assistant, and the royal couple posted an ad on Linkedin Monday.

With all eyes on the soon-to-be-wedded couple, Markle, an actress from Hollywood, and her prince are looking for someone to organize press coverage and manage their social media. The right candidate will become part of the “Royal Household.”

Among the thoroughly English public relations duties, the couple’s new assistant will be expected to arrange press coverage of everything from garden parties to palace engagements.

“Although based primarily at Buckingham Palace, you'll also travel in the UK or overseas to support important visits and engagements,” the royal couple wrote on Linkedin. “The Royal Communications team promotes the work, role, relevance and value of the Royal Family to a worldwide audience.”

Charmingly, the couple goes on to sell the benefits of working for the Royals.

“With the Royal Household, everyday jobs become exceptional,” they wrote. “Building a career here means both upholding cherished traditions and exploring new ideas to take the Household and our work forward. You’ll be trusted and supported, and proud of the contribution you make.”

Markle and Prince Harry made international headlines when they announced their engagement in November. Like his mother before him, Prince Harry courts fascination and controversy for eschewing traditionalism. In proposing to Markle, who is biracial, American, and a Catholic divorcee, Prince Harry followed his heart and rekindled the world’s fascination with the royals. Markle, an actress who grew up in Hollywood, is best known for her role in the TV drama “Suits.”

So what exactly are the Royals looking for in a trusted communications assistant?

“Joining this fast-paced and dynamic team, you'll assist senior colleagues with both proactive and reactive communications. You'll organise coverage of set-piece Palace engagements including investitures and garden parties, and provide support as required for off-site engagements. You'll also play a role in producing content for a variety of platforms. From press announcements and media briefing notes, to social media updates and feature articles; you'll develop your skills as you take on each new challenge.”

The one-year gig is full-time from April 2018 to April 2019 and includes a comprehensive benefits package, including 33 vacation days, a 15% employer contribution pension and support for continued professional development.
