The pay may not be what he’s used to, but Donald Trump Jr. has his eye a new job opportunity … as digital communications officer for England’s Queen Elizabeth II. He certainly meets the requirements, to include digital communications experience “preferably in a high-profile environment.”

I’m in. DM me. https://t.co/eAF6BKTMNB

The Queen is hiring a Digital Communications Officer to be employed at Buckingham Palace … which makes for a pretty cool business card address. The pay is about $38,000, depending on experience. “A comprehensive benefits package” includes free lunch and 33 days of annual leave.

Chances are, this isn’t an entry-level job. Note that it is open to all to apply … it is even posted on LinkedIn.

The job description involves overseeing social media platforms, creating content for the Royals’ website and researching and writing feature articles.

“Whether you’re covering a state visit, award ceremony or Royal engagement, you’ll make sure our digital channels consistently spark interest and reach a range of audiences,” the posting reads. “The reaction to our work is always high-profile, and so reputation and impact will be at the forefront of all you do. And having your work shared around the world will be the biggest reward.”

Nope, money isn’t everything.

The royal family is turning more attention to social media of late, and it is possible that the Queen has been inspired by the success her grandchildren are enjoying on social media. Prince Harry and wife Meghan Markle launched their Instagram last month and broke a world record for fastest time to reach one million followers. They now have over 8-million followers. Can you say, “VIRAL”?

In Anglesey The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge met up with the Menai Bridge @Scouts to explore Newborough Beach’s wildlife habitat, and hear more about the importance of the nesting bird colonies on neighbouring Llanddwyn Island. The Duchess previously volunteered with the Scouts during her time in Anglesey, and during the visit heard how the Scouts are working closely with local organisations and schools to protect the region’s natural habitat. The Duke and Duchess then joined pupils from local primary schools for a beach clean, organised by the Isle of Anglesey County Council and marine conservation group @SurfersAgainstSewage. Anglesey became the first county in the UK to be awarded Plastic Free Communities status by the group, in recognition of its fantastic work to reduce the impact of single-use plastic on the environment through its the ‘Plastic Free Anglesey’ campaign. ?PA / Kensington Palace

Today, as I visit the Science Museum I was interested to discover a letter from the Royal Archives, written in 1843 to my great-great-grandfather Prince Albert. Charles Babbage, credited as the world’s first computer pioneer, designed the “Difference Engine”, of which Prince Albert had the opportunity to see a prototype in July 1843. In the letter, Babbage told Queen Victoria and Prince Albert about his invention the “Analytical Engine” upon which the first computer programmes were created by Ada Lovelace, a daughter of Lord Byron. Today, I had the pleasure of learning about children’s computer coding initiatives and it seems fitting to me that I publish this Instagram post, at the Science Museum which has long championed technology, innovation and inspired the next generation of inventors.

So her royal highness has got the chops to handle some of her own social media work, but since the internet never sleeps, it’s great to have a pro to help out when things get hectic or it’s time to take a nap.

Don Jr., a royal in his own right, would most certainly bring some juice to the job. No doubt his resume is sterling but you really can just scan his social media posts to get a sense of his digital mastery.

Latest addition to his portfolio …

You sound scared… and given your role you probably should. https://t.co/6pLQBkIXOM

President Trump’s son was responding on Saturday to James Comey’s Friday-night tweet in which Comey attacked Barr and accused him of “sliming his own department” as well as being a spokesman for the President.

At the very least, Jr. should get a first interview.
