The Princess of Wales has a new private secretary. According to Roya Nikkhah, Catherine has hired public relations specialist Alison Corfield, who used to work for Jamie Oliver.

Alison Corfield, who masterminded Jamie Oliver’s childhood obesity and free school meals campaigns, will join the palace as Kate’s right-hand woman and most senior aide this month.

Described as “loud” and “persuasive” by those who know her, Corfield’s appointment has been hailed by royal insiders as a “breath of fresh air”. It is understood the princess actively sought out a “different kind of courtier” as she steps up her public work.

Corfield will replace Hannah Cockburn-Logie, a diplomat with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, who left the role last autumn after 2½ years in post.

Known as “Al” to her friends, Corfield, 51, a mother of three and former air stewardess, worked as Oliver’s head of campaigns from 2015 to 2020. She led the marketing strategy for his drive to halve childhood obesity by 2030, improve food education in schools and create “a generational shift in young people’s health”.

She has continued to work with Oliver on his free school meals campaign, and has also advised the Irish television chef Clodagh McKenna.

The prince and princess’s aides have traditionally been recruited from government departments and the civil service, including William’s last private secretary, Sir Simon Case, who was David Cameron’s principal private secretary in Downing Street and is now the cabinet secretary. William’s current private secretary, Jean-Christophe Gray, is described by Whitehall sources as “the model of a mandarin”, and previously worked with several former chancellors including Rishi Sunak, George Osborne and Gordon Brown.

A royal source said: “Alison is an unusual fit. She is a bit out there for Kensington Palace, but there is a move to recruit more modernisers and people with private sector experience, not just civil servants. She will run rings around the courtiers and shake things up a bit.”

A royal source who knows Corfield, said: “She will be a massive breath of fresh air at Kensington Palace. She is loud, tons of fun and full of energy and enthusiasm.”

Corfield has also worked with the Labour MP Stella Creasy on her recent MotheRED campaign to recruit more mothers as Labour politicians.

Corfield will take on the role as the princess’s private secretary as Kate, 41, significantly steps up her public profile and work. Last week, she launched a new long-term campaign, Shaping Us, to raise public awareness on the importance of early childhood development.

If the World Falls To Pieces (Young Summer)

Now we have nothing left to lose * Flames look beautiful if you forget what they can do * If they only knew

Somebody To Die For (Hurts)

I've got nothing left to live for * Got no reason yet to die * But when I'm standing in the gallows * I'll be staring at the sky

Hold My Hand (The Fray)

I found a picture in my basement * My face a hundred years ago * But I don't want to do like he did * So full of pride and all alone

Heroes (Haley Reinhart)

Though nothing will keep us together * We could steal time, just for one day * We can be heroes, forever and ever * What'd you say?

The Reason (Hoobastank)

I'm sorry that I hurt you * It's something I must live with everyday * And all the pain I put you through * I wish that I could take it all away

In Time (Robbie Robb)

In time we'll be dancing in the streets all night * In time, yes, everything will be all right * It'll take time but we're going far, * You and me, yes I know we are

End Of The World (Rob Dickinson)

If the end of the world was near * Where would you choose to be? * If there was five more minutes of air * Would you panic and hide * Or run for your life * Or stand here and spend it with me?

We Remain (Christina Aguilera)

Now, we talk about our wasted future * But we take a good look around * Yeah, we take a good look around * Yeah, we know it hasn't been for nothing * 'Cause we never let it slow us down

Lost My Mind (Finneas)

You're the scars on my skin * You're the past I don't wanna erase * You're the words on my lips * That have left but I still seem to taste * Maybe I'm just too tired to keep lyin' * Maybe you're all I ever wanted

Lovers In A Dangerous Time (Bruce Cockburn)

When you're lovers in a dangerous time * Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime * Nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight * Got to kick at the darkness till it bleeds daylight

Hi emmy!! I hope you’re feeling ok! I’m taking a little trip to Scotland in May and im like so excited!!! I studied over there for a year but silly me didn’t get to actually see or do much since i was in school. Im curious what are some of your favorite spots in Edinburgh? What should I absolutely go check out or go eat at? Thanks! Sending so much love and hugs from across the pond xx

hi lovely, i'm doing good, thank you - hope you are too! and that's so exciting! there's all the obvious places to visit like the gardens, the castle, a wee hike up arthur's seat or calton hill for some amazing views. the royal mile is a great place to wander for restaurants and shops, as well as cockburn street for vintage/charity stores (it's one of the cities most recognised streets!)

if you head down to leith on a sunny day, you'll feel like you're in amsterdam! sea views, riverside walks and so many cute vintage stores for clothes, records and trinkets as well as sushi and ramen places and bakeries. one of my favourites is mimi's bakehouse 🤤 there's tons of old bookstores too!

also love the boozy cow for their dirty fries, the alchemist for insane cocktails, gusto's for an incredible italian and the dome for the fanciest afternoon tea experience ever.

chamber street museum is also a stunning building to wander around and it's free entry!
