Meet the woman who will be by Meghan’s side for all her royal engagements

She's her official royal aide.

You may have seen her in the background of many pictures throughout the past few months, but now Amy Pickerill has been appointed as Meghan Markle's royal aide. Kensington Palace revealed they appointed the former press officer as Meghan’s official aide earlier today. Amy will now get a very fancy title indeed, an 'assistant private secretary' in Prince Harry’s office and will, as well, work on Meghan’s events diary and correspondences to letters, emails and everything else she receives. In a statement from Kensington Palace, a spokesman said Amy “will be working on Meghan Markle’s programme.” Brief but simple. Amy was formerly a senior communications officer working in the household of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge before joining Prince Harry’s office, so there's no doubt that she'll fit in well with Meghan. Meanwhile, one of the former actresses makeup artists' opened up about what it's like working with the star. She said that Meghan has an ultimate makeup rule for not hiding her freckles. Freckles are something Meghan has in common with us Irish girls and something she always chooses to embrace, according to makeup artist Lydia. "Every time I’d do her makeup, she’d say, 'Can we just make sure my freckles are peeking through? I don’t want a tonne of foundation,'" she told Refinery29. "It was more about the amount of product that went on her skin and keeping it really fresh and dewy, rather than caking it on. Images: Getty
