Kate Middleton Work History

[mariebeth]

I remember after she graduated their was all these articles about her trying to start her own mail-order company, but I could only find two of them so far that mentions that.

After college she tried to launch her own mail order company, selling high-end baby clothes, but a key investor backed out and the plan failed. She was then 16 months unemployed before landing the job with Jigsaw, owned by Belle and John Robinson, who are friends of Kate's parents.

In early 2006, it was rumoured that Middleton intended to found her own mail order company, selling high-end children's clothes. After a key investor stepped down, however, she decided to hold off on this plan. In November 2006, she accepted a position as an accessories buyer assistant with the British clothing chain Jigsaw.

Does anyone remember or save any of these articles.

Kate's gone from catalog model to playing a role in expanding the business. In 2008 she spearheaded the launch of First Birthdays, a division that focuses on babies' parties, and according to Joseph, she was also responsible for getting Party Pieces to support the charity Starlight Children's Foundation. (The company helps host parties and provides party bags for seriously ill children in hospitals.)
In fact, aside from a stint as a part-time buyer at British fashion retailer Jigsaw, the 29-year-old's professional career has consisted solely of her experience at Party Pieces, where her duties have also included designing and producing catalogs, marketing and taking photos.

She now has a new job. Being a housewife.

I bet she must have an army of cleaners and security around wherever she goes.


At home with... Her Royal Pie-ness: A taste of Kate's life in Anglesey

Around the same time that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge alight from their private jet and step on to the white sands of one of the 100 islands of the Seychelles, my gumboots crunch on to the white cliffs of Anglesey. Royal tour, here I come — even if I have to design the route myself.

This far-flung and rain-lashed island, off the north coast of Wales, has been home to the royal couple for more than a year.

Yet very little is known about their lives here, where Prince William is stationed at the RAF Valley base on the south-west coast of the island as a search and rescue helicopter pilot.

The only places where the Duchess of Cambridge is seen regularly all over Anglesey is inside the island's supermarkets, such as the Menai branch of Waitrose where she was photographed happily pushing a trolley

Interesting start for the new british royal. So unlike Diana's entrance into the family. Prince William is not yet the Prince of Wales so this allows William and Catherine to continue their life together away from the palace and it's constraints. I hope this makes for a more stable relationship.

I hope so too. Also the Queen Mum and King George also spent their early marriage there. I think the firm believes WillKate should have some time to settle into the marriage. Despite the fact that they have been together a long time, it's different now that she's officially a royal. It's a big change for her. So they are easing her into it. I think it's smart on their part. JMO.
