Getting a job in a royal household means precision is key. But one unusual test devised by Tracey Waterman, the royal family’s head of staff recruitment, is an absolute game-changer. Featured in Channel 5’s documentary, *Sandringham: The Royals at Christmas*, Tracey spills the beans on her secret method.

Imagine walking into a room as part of your interview, and there’s a dead fly on the carpet. Your mission, although unknown to you, is to notice it. Tracey believes this sneaky test reveals those candidates with a keen eye for detail. 🤔🐜

Why a fly? Well, catching this tiny detail could make all the difference. Apparently, only “one out of ten” would actually pick it up, showing they’re the right fit for a royal gig. Those lucky few are what Tracey dubs “the special housekeeper.”

Working for William and Kate is not all about stuffy traditions. They’re keen on promoting a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, especially when their little ones, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, are about. The Duke and Duchess also have a “zero tolerance” policy on gossip to foster a healthy work environment.

With their preference for informality, the team enjoys a laid-back dress code unless they’re off to Buckingham Palace or an important meeting. The future king, after all, doesn’t want things too “stuffy” when the kids are darting about the office!

So, next time you’re tidying up, think like a royal candidate—who knew a fly could be your key to a princely career? 👑🦠
