Kate and William Face Setback as Another Key Staff Member Steps Down
Princess Kate and Prince William are encountering another setback with the resignation of a key staff member.
Demetra Pinsent, a notable beauty executive, has stepped down from her role as the director of the Prince and Princess of Wales's Royal Foundation after serving as a trustee for eight years.
The 50-year-old Pinsent has been instrumental in the growth of Charlotte Tilbury's beauty empire and will continue her position as chief executive of the brand, which has experienced remarkable expansion under her leadership.
Her departure comes four years after the Spanish company Puig acquired a majority stake in Charlotte Tilbury, valuing the British beauty brand at an impressive £1.3 billion.
The Royal Foundation is now facing significant adjustments following the exit of Demetra Pinsent, who has dedicated eight years to her role as a trustee and director.
This latest change follows the recent resignation of another key staff member, Rob Dixon, who stepped down from his position as royal equerry.
Dixon was appointed in 2020 when William and Kate were still known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and continued in his role after their elevation to Prince and Princess of Wales in 2022.
After four years of dedicated service, Dixon will return to his duties with the Royal Navy.
Under Pinsent's leadership, Charlotte Tilbury experienced remarkable growth, highlighted by a significant acquisition in 2020 by the Spanish firm Puig, which valued the British beauty giant at an astounding £1.3 billion.
This deal marked a pivotal moment in the brand’s global expansion, further cementing Pinsent’s legacy in the beauty industry.
