There's set to be a major change in the Prince and Princess of Wales's royal household.

HELLO! understands that Kate's personal assistant, Natasha Archer, is leaving Kensington Palace where she's been an invaluable member of the private household for 15 years.

Natasha is set to leave her palace role to set up her own private consultancy.

Natasha, 37, who is known as "Tash" to her friends, was promoted to senior private executive assistant to William and Kate in 2022, beginning her time with them as a personal assistant when she joined their household in 2010.

Her responsibilities as their personal assistant included managing their diaries and projects, as well as being the Princess's stylist.

Natasha has been responsible for sourcing some of Kate's most showstopping looks on royal tours, state banquets and her day-to-day engagements.

She has also been there for many of Kate's biggest moments in her royal career and was even spotted arriving at the Lindo Wing the day after Prince George's birth in 2013.

In 2019, Natasha was awarded the Royal Victorian Order for her services to the royal family, receiving the prestigious honour from William during an investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace.

Before joining William and Kate's office in 2010, Natasha worked for the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester for three years.

While she has often been pictured carrying luggage off planes, she made an elegant appearance at Royal Ascot last month in a white and black polka-dot dress by Alessandra Rich, a designer label that the Princess has worn on numerous occasions.

Natasha, who was educated at Uppingham School in Leicestershire, married Getty royal photographer, Chris Jackson, in 2017.
