Rebecca announced she was leaving her position as Kate’s lady-in-waiting in March 2017. As the Duchess’ right-hand woman, Rebecca was primarily responsible for planning the mom-of-two’s busy schedule and accompanying her on all royal tours. However, in 2012, Kate did get her own lady-in-waiting, Rebecca Deacon! “She is the perfect companion because she is similar in age to Kate, is very organized, and has lovely manners,” an insider previously told The Mirror.
