The Royal Family have added two family friends to the royal payroll – while Queen Camilla’s sister gets dismissed.
Two of Prince George and Prince Louis’ godparents have been added to the royal payroll, and given job titles, it has been revealed.
Harry Aubrey-Fletcher and William van Cutsem have reportedly been employed by Prince William to become his colleagues at the 13,000 acre Duchy estate.
Both Harry and William will take on the role of advisor to the council at the estate – which was inherited by the Prince of Wales last year.
Aubrey-Fletcher – who is Prince Louis’s godparent – will manage “a group of rural businesses across Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire and West Sussex”.
Meanwhile, Custem – who is Prince George’s godparent – will act as a chartered surveyor who specialises in commercial property.
This news comes as it was recently reported that Annabel Elliot – who is Queen Camilla’s sister – has been paid several hundred thousand of pounds for her services over the last two decades.
However, the Telegraph has since reported that William will no longer employ Annabel – although this will have no reflection on her work.
Following Camilla’s marriage to the King in 2005, the 75-year-old monarch employed his sister-in-law to act as chief designer of his estates.
Since joining ‘team Cornwall’, Annabell has conducted work on the Duchy holiday cottage portfolio, decorating and updating its period properties in Cornwall, Wales and the Isles of Scilly.
The Queen’s sister was reimbursed additional amounts each year, ranging from £7,160 to £90,285, for the purchase of furniture, furnishings and retail stock.
Annabel was also employed to oversee the refurbishment of a 20-bedroom pub in the centre of the King’s Poundbury development in Dorset.
She was also on hand to help convert two cottages and a lodge for guests at Dumfries House in Ayrshire, which the monarch saved for the nation in 2007.
