Nicknamed, “The Panther” for her feisty attitude, Cohen quickly rose through the ranks to become the royal family’s deputy press secretary in 2003 and later received the “top job” as Queen Elizabeth’s private secretary in 2007, “becoming the first woman appointed in the role,” according to the Mail. She was even promoted to Commander of the Royal Victorian Order by the Queen in 2016. A key member of the royal staff, Cohen was entrusted to guide Markle through her six-month long “Duchess training” back in May.
Here’s how Meghan’s next aide will probably be hired, according to recent precedent.
When it comes to filling the vacant aide spots on her staff, there’s a great chance that the expectant royal will follow in the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s footsteps and post an opening for the position on LinkedIn. (Yes, LinkedIn.) Back in 2017, Vanity Fair reported that Prince William and Middleton turned to the job posting site to recruit candidates to fill the role of their senior communications officer.
The move came as quite a change for the royals, who typically post about new job opportunities on Kensington Palace’s official job website, such as when the royal mom of three needed to hire a new press secretary in March 2017. According to Vanity Fair, however, the royals have become more keen on using LinkedIn during their hiring process because the pool of applicants is larger. Surely, Markle will appreciate having more diverse candidates apply for the role, as a source mentioned to The Sunday Times that, “Going forward, Meghan might need someone cut from a slightly different cloth to traditional courtiers, who is not a career civil servant or a royal insider.”
