SUSSEX ORDEAL CUT SHORT

WHOEVER takes over from the Duke and Duchess’s PR firm (they have just ditched Sunshine Sachs, the New York-based outfit that has been advising the Duchess since her days as an actress on legal drama Suits) is going to have their work cut out. Especially if recent revelations about how the Duchess treats her employees are anything to go by.

She also has an interesting interview technique, by all accounts. A couple of years ago I heard a story about a woman who applied to work for her at Kensington Palace. She was ushered into the (then) Royal presence, who allegedly glanced up, took one look, said simply, ‘You can leave’, and went back to her paperwork. That was the end of the interview.

In the circumstances, a lucky escape, I suspect.
