Kate Middleton is not workshy but busy nine to five working for her parents in a mundane office job, it was revealed today. Critics dubbed Prince William's probable future wife 'Waity Katy', and claimed she spent her time shopping and socialising while she waited for William, 26, to propose. But Ms Middleton, also 26, has been 'compiling and editing catalogues' for her parents' mail order party accessory company five days a week from the family home in Bucklebury, Berkshire.
The Queen was said to disapprove of her apparently lazy lifestyle, wanting her to take up charity work. But Ms Middleton has told friends such reports are 'utter nonsense', according to Hello! magazine. A close friend said: 'She is a young woman who wants to keep active and that is why she is annoyed at the headlines saying she doesn't work. 'She is actually working full-time, is on the payroll and plans to continue doing the job.' It was also revealed that Ms Middleton had been busy helping organise, with Richard Branson's daughter Holly, a charity roller disco in aid of sick children and youngsters in deprived areas.
She is on a committee running the event in London next month, which will raise funds for Tom's Ward at the Children's Hospital in Oxford and Place2Be, which supports children's emotional wellbeing through drop-in sessions at 128 schools, according to Hello! Ms Middleton graduated from St Andrews University with a 2:1 in history of art. She had hoped to get a job in a London gallery, but as she became a top target for paparazzi, galleries did not want hordes of photographers camped on their doorsteps all day. Photographers also hassled Ms Middleton at her recent job with the Jigsaw fashion chain, owned by Belle and John Robinson.
Mrs Robinson recently told the Evening Standard: 'Kate supported a couple of Jigsaw events we did. Then she rang me up one day and said, 'Could I come and talk to you about work?' She genuinely wanted a job but she needed an element of flexibility to continue the relationship with an incredibly high-profile man and a life that she can't always anticipate.'
