Prince William And Kate Middleton Redefine Their Royal Foundation Amid Split

Just a few short months after Prince William and Kate Middleton formally parted ways with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry on their shared charitable efforts, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have decided to give their organization a fresh identity. What was once known as The Royal Foundation will now carry the name The Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, according to documents released by Companies House.

A New Era for the Royal Foundation

Back in May, whispers began to circulate about the possibility of these two royal couples stepping away from joint charitable work. The foundation, originally launched in 2009 by William, Kate, and Harry, had been a cornerstone of their combined efforts to tackle some of the world's most pressing issues. It wasn't until June that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex officially confirmed their decision to go their separate ways, setting the stage for a new chapter in royal philanthropy.

In a statement released at the time, the royal family explained, "The Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and The Duke and Duchess of Sussex has today announced the conclusions of a review into its structure, and how it will best support Their Royal Highnesses with future charitable activity." The statement went on to clarify that later in the year, The Royal Foundation would become the primary vehicle for the charitable and philanthropic work of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Meanwhile, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would establish their own foundation, with transitional support from The Royal Foundation.
