Princess Kate Middleton, known for her royal duties and public appearances, once held part-time jobs during her student years at the University of St Andrews. Among these roles was a position as a waitress, a job she humorously described as one she was 'terrible' at during a BBC special in 2019. In addition to waitressing, she worked as an accessories buyer for the fashion retailer Jigsaw. [2720aa93]
Before fully transitioning into her royal responsibilities in 2011, Kate also contributed to her family's party supplies business, Party Pieces. However, the company later faced financial difficulties and was bought out by entrepreneur James Sinclair. This experience reflects the grounded beginnings of Kate's career before she embraced her role in the royal family. [2720aa93]

This highlights her evolution from a student with part-time jobs to a prominent figure in the royal family, balancing her public duties with her personal history. [2720aa93]
