The role, which is being advertised on LinkedIn, promises “exposure across the organisation” and the chance to get stuck into the co-ordination of the official royal programme of engagements around the UK and supporting the royal family’s official duties. So if you're looking for a job that involves travelling in a fast-paced environment from the get-go, you'll have to be quick with your application, as the closing date is listed as the 27 October 2019.

Buckingham Palace is looking for "highly experienced PA used to supporting board level individuals," who can remain "calm and organised even when under pressure."
