Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left their working royal roles in March 2020, and now the pair live in the US with their two children. The Sussexes lost several royal patronages following their exit, but it has now been announced that the first of the patronages left vacant by Meghan will now be taken up by Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.
Camilla will be the new royal patron of the National Theatre, a role which was given to the Duchess of Sussex by the Queen in 2019.
Rufus Norris, director and joint chief executive of the National Theatre, said: “It is a privilege to welcome the Duchess of Cornwall as the National Theatre’s Royal Patron.
“The Duchess shares our belief that theatre enriches our lives in so many ways and that everyone should have access to the arts and creativity no matter where they are in the world.
“The Duchess has shown great support to our industry throughout the pandemic, and I look forward to working with Her Royal Highness for many years to come.
“I would also like to express my thanks to the Queen for Her Majesty’s long and unwavering support and service to the National Theatre.”
Camilla’s new appointment is a key sign Meghan will not be returning to royal duties any time soon, and some of Prince Harry’s royal patronages were also redistributed within the Royal Family earlier this year.
Kate, Duchess of Cambridge has now taken over Harry’s role as patron of the Rugby Football Union and the Rugby Football League.
