Catherine Fall

Kate Fall served as deputy-chief of staff to the former Prime Minister David Cameron from 2010 to 2015, for which she earned a salary of £100,000 a year.

Background

Daughter of Sir Brian Fall (former ambassador to Moscow in the 1990s), Fall met David Cameron while at Oxford. She worked on his successful 2001 campaign to win a seat in Witney.

According to The Telegraph:

Met Mr Cameron at Oxford and worked with Mr Osborne in the research department. An identical twin, she is beautiful and enigmatic, preferring to keep out of the limelight. The daughter of a former ambassador, she concentrates on making sure Mr Cameron is always well briefed and on time and ensures he keeps in touch with MPs, donors and dignitaries. She developed her skills working in Michael Howard's office and as director of The Atlantic Partnership think tank. She is one of the few aides who has a family. Her husband Ralph Ward-Jackson runs the Art London fair and she lives with their two young children, Olivia and Guy, in Battersea.
