Meghan Markle’s Royal Life Gets a Helping Hand
Hey there, royal enthusiasts! With just 12 weeks to go until Meghan Markle ties the knot with Prince Harry, her life is moving at a royal pace. Lucky for Meghan, Kensington Palace has stepped in to lend a hand. Allow me to introduce you to Amy Pickerill, Meghan’s newest royal aide. In a recent statement, the palace confirmed that Amy, an Assistant Private Secretary in Prince Harry’s office, will be managing Meghan’s official engagements. But who exactly is Amy Pickerill?
Let’s dive a little deeper. Amy graduated from the University of Nottingham back in 2007, according to her LinkedIn profile. After her time there, she decided to pursue a postgraduate diploma in broadcast journalism at City, University of London. Now, I don’t know about you, but I’m still trying to figure out the deal with that comma in the school’s name too.

Amy Pickerill’s Journey to the Royal Family
After completing her studies, Amy’s career path took her to some impressive places. First, she became a press secretary for Her Majesty’s Treasury in London. Then, she worked at the Royal Bank of Scotland before heading to New York City to join Ogilvy Public Relations. Eventually, she returned to the Royal Bank of Scotland, further honing her skills in communications. But her career was about to take a royal turn.
In September 2016, Amy joined the royal family as the senior communications officer for Prince Harry, Prince William, and Kate Middleton. Now, she’s Meghan’s go-to person, handling everything from her day-to-day schedule to official correspondence. During the couple’s visit to Edinburgh, Scotland, in February, Amy was spotted by Meghan’s side, managing gifts from well-wishers. According to the Daily Mail, Amy not only handles Meghan’s “official diary” but also organizes her visits to various UK charities, helping the former actress get familiar with the nonprofit world.
