The Duchess of Cornwall has been named royal patron of the National Theatre taking on the role formally held by Meghan Markle before her and Prince Harry stopped being working royals.

The pair quit their royal duties in 2020 in a bid for personal and financial freedom, and have since signed multi-million pound deals with Netflix and Spotify.

They also famously sat down for a TV interview with Oprah Winfrey where their claims of racism and a lack of support plunged the royal family in crisis.

Along with a selection of photos from her visit, a caption on the Sussex Royal Instagram page read: “The goal of this method of virtual reality is to enable us to better connect and empathise with each other as people, regardless of race, age or nationality.”

National Theatre director Rufus Norris 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.”
