She also noted that &#8220;its structure is hierarchically organized into departments.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Among these teams is the Royal Household, which brings together everyone from butlers and valets to gardeners, cooks, and archivists. &#8220;The British house even employs grooms and royal stable boys, since it still keeps active equestrian traditions,&#8221; she clarified.<\/p>\n<p>                    <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width:100%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/foto-de-la-familia-real-inglesa-con-el-principe-harry-kate-middleton-y-sus-hijos_1200_800.webp.webp\" class=\"img-responsive lazyload\" alt=\"Prince William, Kate Middleton and their children George, Charlotte and Louis dressed elegantly smile while standing in front of a building with columns.\" title=\"Prince William, Kate Middleton and their children George, Charlotte and Louis dressed elegantly smile while standing in front of a building with columns.\"\/><\/p>\n<p>| Europa Press<\/p>\n<p>According to the expert, employees who begin to be part of Prince William&#8217;s and his family&#8217;s work team must accept <a href=\"https:\/\/catalunyadiari.com\/es\/corazon\/estricta-norma-rey-carlos-iii-para-buckingham-palace-hoy-vigor\" title=\"King Charles III&#039;s unexpected rule for Buckingham Palace comes into effect today\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a series of very clear and strict rules<\/a>. This also happens in the Spanish royal house:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One of the most striking aspects is the contractual and regulatory rigor. Those who work at Buckingham must sign strict confidentiality agreements that remain in force even after leaving the job.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another common point between both royal houses is that &#8220;taking photographs inside the palace is not allowed.&#8221; &#8220;Nor is it permitted to reveal details of internal life, schedules, or the habits of royal family members,&#8221; this expert added.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, there are spatial rules: &#8220;Many workers have restricted areas.&#8221; &#8220;In some cases, they even have to walk in the opposite direction or through hidden corridors so as not to visually coincide with a member of the royalty,&#8221; she revealed. All under the principle of &#8220;invisible service.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A clear example is the Page of the Backstairs. &#8220;A figure who acts as a personal assistant and coordinates every move of the royal members behind the scenes, ensuring that everything flows smoothly. These employees literally live behind the scenes,&#8221; she revealed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An expert on the Windsor family has confirmed what is already an open secret about Prince William and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8422,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,75],"class_list":{"0":"post-8421","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-celebrities","11":"tag-entertainment"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8421","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8421"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8421\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8422"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8421"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8421"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8421"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
