This is one of the best ways to find qualified staff: “steal” them!

(LONDON) — The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge placed an ad for household help in January but, in the end, they didn’t have to look far to find the right royal servant to help with their growing family.

A 13-year veteran of Buckingham Palace and housekeeper to the Queen herself has been hired by Prince William and Duchess Kate to oversee their new home in Kensington Palace, the U.K.’s Express reports.

Antonella Fresolone, 42 years old, single and with no children, began her new job two weeks ago in preparation for the birth of William and Kate’s first child, due in July.  She has reportedly taken residence in a staff apartment at Kensington Palace, close to the Nottingham Cottage where the couple is staying while their residence is under renovation.

If Duchess Kate is craving carbs post-delivery, she is in luck with Fresolone, who is known by her peers for her “delicious Italian cooking,” according to the Express.
