00:00 The Prince and Princess of Wales have recently returned from their summer break, and the
00:04 duo are now facing a major change in their working lives as they look for a new CEO,
00:09 the most senior position on their team.
00:13 A job advertisement for the role reads, "This is a unique opportunity to join the dedicated
00:23 team at Kensington Palace who support the outstanding work of their Royal Highnesses
00:27 the Prince and Princess of Wales.
00:36 The CEO is the most senior and accountable leader for the household."
00:39 Reporting directly to THR's The Prince and Princess of Wales, it continues, "They will
00:51 be responsible for the development and implementation of THR's long-term strategy and continuing
00:57 to strengthen a professional and collaborative household culture.
01:08 Candidates will bring a track record of strategic and cultural leadership in complex fast-paced
01:13 settings and the ability to demonstrate core values of discretion, humility, integrity,
01:18 and diplomacy, at the heart of this distinctive working environment."
01:29 The job listing comes shortly after the Prince and Princess returned to work.
01:33 Last week, William visited a branch of Pret A Manger in Bournemouth as he met with local
01:38 and national businesses, all of whom have pledged their support to his Homewards initiative,
01:43 which aims to end homelessness for good.
01:52 Over the next five years, the Pret Foundation's Rising Stars programme, which helps break
01:56 the cycle of homelessness by providing support, training and employment, will see a 40% expansion,
02:03 supporting at least 500 people experiencing or at risk of homelessness into jobs at Pret's
02:08 UK shops, including in Homewards flagship locations where Pret has a presence.
02:20 William also visited AFC Bournemouth's Vitality Stadium to hear about the club's ongoing work
02:25 in the community to support those at risk of homelessness, and commitment to expanding
02:29 their projects as part of Homewards.
02:38 Later in the week, the Prince and Princess headed to St David's Cathedral in Pembrokeshire
02:42 where they took part in a moving ceremony to honour the memory of the late Queen on
02:46 the one-year anniversary of her death.
02:55 One especially emotional moment during the service saw members of the Church and the
02:59 Royal Couple singing Thou Knowest, Lord, the Secrets of Our Hearts which was performed
03:03 at the Queen's State Funeral.
03:12 Meanwhile this week, Kate visited men's prison Humpai Down in Surrey where she learnt about
03:16 how prisoners are receiving support for their addictions.
03:27 These include The Bridge, an intensive abstinence-based programme; Stepping Stones, a low to medium
03:32 intensity intervention for those whose alcohol or drug consumption is at harmful or dependent
03:37 levels; and Family Ties, a course of workshops focused on restoring healthy communication
03:43 and trust between loved ones
03:45 and family.
