The Prince and Princess of Wales are looking for a new assistant private secretary

Princess Kate and Prince William are "launching a new plan for Wales" after their royal titles have been dismissed, GB News's Royal Correspondent has claimed.

The Prince and Princess of Wales are looking for a new assistant private secretary, GB News revealed last month.


Cameron Walker and Svar Nanan-Sen, GB News's Digital Royal Editor, sat down for this week's episode of The Royal Record podcast to discuss Kate and William's exciting new plan.

The Royal Correspondent said: "They appear to be very much planning for the future now.

"Not perhaps as Prince and Princess of Wales, but maybe a little bit looking even further into the future as the next King and Queen.

"I had an exclusive this week on the GB News.com website revealing that they are looking for a new assistant private secretary to specifically focus on the home nation.

"So Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland, but even more of a focus on Wales in their role as Prince and Princess of Wales.

"And they want somebody who speaks fluent Welsh, who is very heavily a big expert in Welsh communities and the Government of that country and the issues that really matter to them.

"It's really interesting that they are starting to go down that path and realising perhaps they are two mainly English people who are very privileged and they need a bit of help."

The Prince and Princess of Wales were previously known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge during Queen Elizabeth II's reign.

King Charles assigned the couple the Prince and Princess of Wales when he ascended to the throne in September 2022.

The Digital Royal Editor remarked: "There is a little bit of animosity in some communities towards the Prince and Princess of Wales.

"The political party Plaid Cymru has come out and said that their titles have no formal place or responsibility within Welsh life.

"So I think this is a really smart move to try and smooth that relationship over with some parts of Wales and to bring in a new age as the Prince and Princess of Wales.

"We know William is not planning to have an investiture ceremony as the Prince of Wales, which is probably a smart move."

Cameron quipped: "I mean, even his father got a lot of protests in 1969 by having a ceremony.

"And I don't think William wants to put himself through that somehow."

Svar replied: "Exactly. So we're already seeing William and Catherine make some really smart moves, and I think this is just another step in the right direction."
