New Director of Royal Foundation is announced ? Royal Central

QuoteIt has been announced that the new Director of the Royal Foundation will be Baroness Barran of Bathwick. Diana Barran received her life peerage in this year?s birthday honours and has been a tireless charity campaigner for some years following a career as a hedge-fund manager. She founded the charity SafeLives, a domestic abuse charity and served as its Chief Executive between 2004 and 2017. The work that charity did with regards to mental abuse will engage well with some of the work of the Royal Foundation with mental illness issues. She is also one of the Trustees of Comic Relief and so well used to charities which are very much in the public spotlight.

In becoming a Director and Trustee of the Foundation, the Baroness joins eight other trustees who are responsible in law for the work of the Foundation in four areas; fundraising, governance, strategic direction and oversight. There have been a few issues with charities in recent years, and this is obviously something that must be avoided at all costs. The current Chairman of the Foundation is Sir Keith Mills CBE DL; he has an impressive CV having formed the group which founded the Air Miles and Nectar Card customer loyalty programmes. In addition, he was Deputy Chairman of London 2012 under Lord Coe and Chairman of the 2014 Invictus Games.

The Royal Foundation was set up by Prince William and Prince Harry nearly ten years ago in 2009 and became fully operational two years later when they were joined by Prince William?s wife, the Duchess of Cambridge, and earlier this year the Duchess of Sussex became the fourth patron when she married Prince Harry. The foundation is very much a charitable and philanthropic vehicle for the two royal couples and seeks to work in four areas which are close to them; mental health, wildlife and conservation, young people and the armed forces community. Perhaps the flag-ship of the foundation in that it now runs as a successful independent organisation is the Invictus Games.

Thank you for the update @wannable and the explanation as to the role of a "person of significant control."

Princess Cassandra

This is a foundation that they have established and are in the process of developing to undertake charitable functions and achieve certain goals, all as part of their royal work. Of course they are both persons of control.

I actually think that, until Charles becomes King, that director of the foundation is a good job for Kate. She can still do her engagements, and her Royal duties.
You may think you're cool, but do you have a smiley named after you?

Okay, fine.  Macrobug is now as cool as I am

Prince Charles for the Princes Trust as like Kate has ownership but up to 75%.

Sussex Royal Foundation do not have yet (until their first YTD Financial Report - end of 2020 or beginning 2021) a or more Persons with Significant Control (it will surely be Harry and Meghan, like William and Kate, and like Prince Charles, Camilla doesn't figure in those records)

TLLK

@wannable -Thank you for sharing this  information with us. I agree that in the future we will likely see the Sussexes making a similar announcement with Harry and Meghan in the same roles as registered persons of significant control much like William and Catherine are.

One big change to the Royal Foundation is the area?s of focus have been changed. There are now 5:

Conservation
Service
Young People
Early Years
Mental Health

They removed Empowering Communities (previously called Women & Girls) which had been added when Meghan joined.

On Tuesday 25th February The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will attend a special performance of @DearEvanHansen in aid of The Royal Foundation.

Mental health is a key priority for The Royal Foundation, which has developed initiatives such as @giveusashout and @heads_together

My husband met William & Kate last night at the theatre where he works. He said (apart from both being very tall!) how charming and down to earth they both were taking an interest in the show and talking to everyone.

Hannah Cockburn-Logie OBE MVO. Impressive CV

She has spent the majority of her career representing the UK overseas, with over 20 years' experience working for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

She served as head of political and bilateral relations at the British High Commission in India, based in New Delhi, until September 2018.

In 2017, she was awarded an OBE for services to the UK-India relationship having led the royal tour and a number of Prime Ministerial visits, and in 2008 received an MVO (Royal Victorian Order) for her work leading the Queen's visit to Slovenia that same year.


PrincessOfPeace

A solid education as well.

Hannah Cockburn-Logie studied her undergraduate degree in Modern History at the University of East Anglia before completing a Masters in Social and Public Policy at the University of Leeds.

wannable

Solid Edu and Career, approx. age 45, so I hope she desires to work full time at least 10 years.  Kate's previous Catherine Quinn, hitting 60 and she want's to work temporary with the following charities (I thought previously she was unemployed and seeking, but got corrected today) The Charity Commission for England and Wales, The Met Office, The Royal British Legion and The National Memorial Arboretum.

She must be magic.  Recent acquired job as Kate's private secretary, said something important/idea, analyzed, studied, the others look at each other and let's incorporate and, your a Director now.

Joking but not joking.  Somewhere in between.
