IMO the personal secretary is also filling the role of the traditional lady-in-waiting as well as any correspondence etc...

Meghan Markle?s new assistant ? Royal Central (http://royalcentral.co.uk/uk/princeharry/meghan-markles-new-assistant-95226)

QuoteIn an past blog post on Royal Central, we outlined the three major aspects of a private secretary?s job.

?First, the private secretary is the public face of that royal when it comes to issuing of statements or responding to letters,? the post began.

?Second, the private secretary has the responsibility for coordinating the development of the official policy items that are important to the royal they are working for, and for ensuring those items are clearly and fully implemented.?

?Third, they will be in attendance at all meetings, taking notes, and are responsible for the royal?s schedule or diary.?

As a consequence of Amy moving into Prince Harry?s office, a new communications officer is being sought. The successful candidate will need to be ?educated to degree level (or equivalent) and with some experience of working within a frontline communications environment,? per the job posting.
