Prince William and Kate pose with their royal tour ‘squad’ – find out who’s who!
The Duke and Duchess took their team on the royal tour of Poland and Germany
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have turned heads this week during their five-day tour of Poland and Germany. The royal couple have delighted fans with Kate’s stylish outfits and adorable appearances by their two children Prince George and Princess Charlotte. But behind the scenes of such a high-profile tour is a team of stylists, private secretaries and press officers who help the family keep to their tight schedule. Now, in a rare photograph, we can see just who these mystery aides are.
The flickr account for the British Embassy of Berlin posted a photo showing William and Kate sitting with their entire tour entourage.
The team accompanied the royal couple and their children on last week’s tour of Warsaw, Gdansk, Berlin, Heidelberg and Hamburg at the request of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Sitting in a stunning long, red dress, Duchess Kate and her husband Prince William are all smiles surrounded by their closest circle of aides.
The nanny to Prince George and Princess Charlotte, Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo, can be seen top right in the photo wearing a grey dress. The Spanish nanny started working for the Duke and Duchess when Prince George was a newborn and she now cares for both George and Charlotte. On the bottom row, far right, we can see Kate’s personal hairdresser, Amanda Cook, who wears a black dress. The Duchess has relied on Amanda’s hairstyling skills since the royal tour to Singapore in 2012.
Next to Amanda in the white dress is Kate’s stylist and personal assistant Natasha Archer who is responsible for choosing Kate’s oufits. William and Kate also take their private secretaries on tour with them to handle official matters. Kate’s secretary is Rebecca Deacon, who can be seen third from right at the back in a blue dress. Rebecca has worked for Kate since 2007 and handles the Duchess’ work diary.
Prince William’s private secretary, Miguel Head, is seen standing behind the prince, fifth from the left. Miguel has worked for the Princes’ private office since 2009 and was one of the first employees to arrive at the Lindo Wing to congratulate the Duke and Duchess when Prince George was born in 2013. He manages William’s diary and accompanies him on official engagements. The royal press officers are Jason Knauf, to the right of Miguel, and Katrina McKeever, bottom left wearing light blue.
