Kate & Wills under fire f Housekeepe­r walks out!

The royal couple fear she could spill their secrets

-

The royal family demands absolute loyalty from their staff, but the resignatio­n of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s housekeepe­r last week has left some palace officials fearing the couple’s privacy may be compromise­d.

Sadie Rice, 35, has been cooking, cleaning and shopping for Kate and William for two years, but is said to have called it quits because the job became “too demanding”. Now an insider claims she’s tempted to tell what living with the future king and queen and their kids, Prince George, three, and Princess Charlotte, two, wawas really like.

“Kate’s petrified about the secrets Sadie could spill and the revelation­s she’ll expose – especially given the fact she left because she was feeling overworked,” a palace insider says. “Other staff members have warned Kate that Sadie may be tempted to speak out about her experience­s and has already been offered $1.7 million for a book deal, with many other publishers stumping up large amounts of cash with rival offers.”

Kate, 35, and William, 34, have been living at Anmer Hall, Norfolk, with their children since 2015, but are now spending more and more time in London, where George will be starting school in September. It’s believed their impending permanent move to London didn’t sit well with Sadie.

“They wanted her to spend more time at Kensington Palace and her work was increasing all the time. She wasn’t having a normal life outside work,” another royal source reveals.

Although Kate has done her best to keep the family’s private lives just that, the insider says legal loopholes mean she might notno be able to prevent Sadie from sharing details of life behind the palace walls.

“Kate’s terrified about Sadie revealingr the intimate details ofo their home life, including tiffst between her and William, whichw she could potentiall­y blowb up and dramatise.

“She’d also know personal thingsth about George and CharlotteC­h that they’ve chosen notno to put in the public domain.”
