The job description adds: “You will have the ability to understand and interpret complex portfolio related information and be able to make decisions about appropriate responses and courses of action. 

“You will have the ability to liaise easily with a wide range of individuals and stakeholders, internally and externally, including very senior.”

The vacancy was advertised four days ago, and comes as Kate is undergoing preventative cancer treatment.

We last saw Kate at Trooping the Colour earlier this month, where she appeared on the Buckingham Palace balcony next to King Charles, who is also undergoing cancer treatment.

Just before the event, the Princess of Wales updated fans on Instagram saying: “I’m looking forward to attending The King’s Birthday Parade this weekend with my family and hope to join a few public engagements over the summer, but equally knowing I am not out of the woods yet.”

She added: “My treatment is ongoing and will be for a few more months.

“On the days I feel well enough, it is a joy to engage with school life, spend personal time on the things that give me energy and positivity, as well as starting to do a little work from home.”

Kate stayed home as Prince William took Prince George, 10, and Princess Charlotte, eight, to the Taylor Swift concert at Wembley Stadium on Friday, as he celebrated his 42nd birthday.

Royal editor Emily Nash told The Sun that the Prince of Wales' recent schedule is an positive indication that Kate’s health is improving.

Speaking on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show, the royal expert said: “Earlier this year we were seeing William perhaps once a week, and there were lots of caveats around how long he was going to be at an engagement, what time it would be.

“It felt like things were being very much tailored around his duties at home. 

“And I think that the fact that he's out there more, and the fact that we're seeing Kate in action herself really suggests that they're making really good progress, so good to see.”

It hasn’t been confirmed if the Princess of Wales will attend Wimbledon, as patron of the All England Club.

The Chair of the All England Club, Deborah Jevans, said in a media briefing last Thursday: "Our priority is clearly that our Patron has the time to recover and we’re certainly not going to add any additional pressure on her recovery by speculating on her attendance at this year’s Championships.”
