What does it actually take to work inside the Royal Household?

In this exclusive conversation, Freya Knowles shares her experience supporting at one of the most high-profile institutions in the world, where errors are not an option and discretion is non-negotiable.

From royal protocol to the fast-paced world of UK celebrity, this session explores the standards, mindset and judgement required to operate at the very top — and how EAs can apply those lessons in their own roles.

Her experience offers invaluable insight for Executive Assistants who:

  • Aspire to work at the highest levels

  • Support senior or high-profile leaders

  • Want to elevate their standards and confidence

  • Or are simply fascinated by what exceptional looks like behind closed doors

What to Expect and Why You Should Be in the Room

Working in the Royal Household is not just another line on a CV. It is an environment defined by protocol, scrutiny and precision.

In this conversation, Freya shares what that actually looked like day to day — the decisions, the pressure, the responsibility — and how those experiences shaped her approach in the world of UK celebrity. 

Meet Freya

Freya Knowles is a senior executive support professional who has operated at the highest levels of discretion and expectation.

She began her career within the Royal Household, working in an environment where protocol is precise, standards are uncompromising, and confidentiality is non-negotiable. Operating at that level demands judgement, composure and the ability to anticipate needs before they’re voiced.

Freya later transitioned to supporting a well-known UK celebrity, navigating a fast-paced, high-visibility world where trust and reputation are everything.

Two very different environments.
One consistent requirement: excellence.

Freya brings a behind-the-scenes perspective on what it truly takes to support high-profile individuals — and what every ambitious EA can learn from operating at the top.

Why This Conversation Matters

The term “high-level support” is used frequently.

Few people actually understand what it looks like in practice. Working within the Royal Household requires absolute discretion, sound judgement and consistent excellence.

There is no room for ego. No room for error.

Hearing directly from someone who has operated in that environment provides rare insight into the standards, mindset and professionalism required at the top — and how those same principles apply across any senior EA role.
