Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are beginning a new chapter as the directors of their own charitable foundation.

According to The Sun’s royal correspondent, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s new venture will be called “Sussex Royal.” In addition to Harry and Meghan Markle, the charity’s directors are the couple’s head of communications, Sara Latham, and former Royal Foundation staffer Natalie Campbell.
According to the certificate of incorporation obtained by Royal correspondent Emily Andrews, Sussex Royal was registered as a private company. The duke and duchess made a good choice with the name; it’s also their Instagram handle, @sussexroyal.

Beyoncé meets Meghan Markle on Lion King red carpet in London (15/07/2019)
Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex – formerly Meghan Markle – were joined by Beyoncé and her husband Jay-Z in London’s Leicester Square on Sunday for the premiere of The Lion King.
Duchess Meghan has made several public appearances since the birth of baby Archie, including at the women’s final at Wimbledon at the weekend. She is technically still on maternity leave.
Despite this, the Duchess reportedly chose to attend the British premiere. Royal mothers can apparently pick and choose the public appearances they make during their maternity leave.
Arriving at the glitzy premiere alongside her husband, Duchess Meghan looked absolutely stunning on the red (or orangey yellow) carpet. She wore a black Jason Wu dress with long sheer sleeves.
While Meghan has walked plenty of red carpets as an actress, Sunday marked her first film premiere as a royal.
She and Harry hugged and shared a conversation with Beyoncé, who wore a custom gold pleated gown with a thigh-high slit by Cong Tri, and her husband JAY-Z at the premiere.
The premiere was held in “support of the conservation and communities work of His Royal Highness through The Royal Foundation”, Buckingham Palace said.
The royal couple also had the chance to chat with representatives from organisations doing ground-breaking work for conservation and the environment.
Disney has announced its global conservation campaign Protect the Pride to mark the movie’s release.

Meghan Markle makes appearance at Trooping the Colour (09/06/2019)
Just a month after giving birth to her first child, the Duchess of Sussex made her first official appearance on Saturday to celebrate the Trooping the Colour 2019 parade with husband Prince Harry and the rest of the royal family.
Meghan Markle, made a brief return from maternity leave to attend the Trooping the Colour 2019 festivities with the rest of the royal family on Saturday in the UK.
The Queen may have turned 93 on April 21, but Trooping the Colour is the official celebration of the monarch’s birthday and her ongoing reign.
Sitting in a carriage alongside Prince Harry, the Duchess of Cambridge and Duchess of Cornwall, the Duchess of Sussex wore a navy short sleeve dress by Givenchy with a matching hat by Noelle Stewart.
Royal fans also noticed a new piece of jewellery on the new mum’s wedding finger, which appeared to be an additional band.
