Here's Everything We Know About Kate Middleton's New Hype Woman Catherine Quinn

Kensington palace announced today that K-Middy's tireless search for the perfect hype woman cum private secretary has finally come to an end. A staggeringly accomplished woman named Catherine Quinn has been hired for our dream job.

Not surprisingly, the Duchess of Cambridge's incoming right-hand woman boasts a ridiculously impressive résumé. Quinn is currently the chief operating officer and associate dean for administration at the University of Oxford’s Saïd Business School, where she matriculated from the MBA program. She also holds several additional degrees from various U.S. and U.K. universities. So you're saying our single bachelor's degree put us in the top 10 prospective contenders pool, right?

Before becoming a royal staffer, British Wonder Woman Quinn served as the chief executive of Middle Temple (a professional society for barristers and aspiring lawyers) and led a grant-giving operation called Wellcome Trust. She’s a member of the boards of the Charity Commission for England and Wales, the Met Office, the Royal British Legion and the National Memorial Arboretum. *Tries to catch breath as realizes Catherine Quinn is actually Khaleesi IRL*

She seems pretty well-qualified, in our humble opinion. Quinn will officially start her duties in October, after the current private secretary, Rebecca Priestley, steps down.

Humph, we totally thought we were a shoo-in for the position, but anyone who so closely resembles Claire Underwood gets two very approving thumbs up in our book.
