We Told You Working from Home is Royally Awesome



If working from home isn't poo-poo'ed by those in the royal family, why should anyone else turn their nose up at it? It seems Prince William and Duchess Kate are taking quarters in Kensington Palace where they will also be opening up an office from which to work sometime in January of next year.

Of course, most aren't working from a plush palace and having the bill for their private office funded by Prince Charles himself but nonetheless, this will allow the wildly adored couple one of the greatest benefits of working from home: axing the commute.

But look at it this way: the brave lead that the UK is taking is one that will allow for much learning for all.
