What's interesting is that the details of the job are kept top secret as the role does not feature on the list of current vacancies on the royal.uk website, meaning the public are not free to peruse the job description.

It is believed this kind of role would include some sort of management of the Queen's estate but it is unclear which level this will be at.

The monarch has been partaking in virtual calls

Her Majesty has recently fought off a bout of COVID-19 and she has been battling mobility issues, but she hasn't slowed down in carrying out virtual audiences and engagements from Windsor Castle via video link.

In one of her virtual engagements, the monarch made a rare comment about her personal experience with the virus. "It does leave one very tired and exhausted, doesn’t it, this awful pandemic," she said.

The Queen's birthday will take place later this month, but it is still unknown how the royal will mark the occasion.
