If you weren’t lucky enough to be born into the House of Windsor, you still have a shot at living in Buckingham Palace—as a housekeeper. Royal officials have posted a job advertisement for a live-in housekeeping assistant at Buckingham Palace. If selected, you would be responsible for the maintenance of the royal interiors (cleaning carpets, furniture, historic vases, and museum-worthy paintings), as well as caring for guests and working special events. In addition to housing, the role provides all meals and use of recreational facilities, but as such, the approximately $21,900 annual salary will be adjusted. That being said, you’ll receive a 15 percent employer contribution pension scheme and 33 days off each year, including bank holidays. Hurry and apply now—if you are eligible to work in the U.K.—at theroyalhousehold.tal.net before the application closes on September 18.
