How can I work in Buckingham Palace as an American?
I am interested in working at Buckingham Palace for 5 years on a work visa, but as a non-British citizen, I noticed a contradiction. The vacancies page on the Royal Family website says that international applicants have to have the legal right to work in the United Kingdom before applying, but many visas require an offer before I can settle. Which type of visa should I apply for, when the time comes? Edit: My overall goal is to work in London for 5 years on a work visa after finishing University, so eventually, I can gain Indefinite Leave to Remain and ultimately, British citizenship. As of now, I am entering my Junior year of High School in September 2025, and am looking into some universities in the United Kingdom, and Roehampton is a favourite of mine for their History, Politics, and International Relations program. I plan to enter University from July-September 2027.
