The Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge has appointed Edwina Iddles chief communications officer.

Iddles was most recently chief press officer for the UK Home office, which is responsible for immigration, security and law and order.

Before that, she was senior press officer at the department for exiting the European Union and began her career as parliamentary assistant to Conservative MP Caroline Dinenage.

The Royal Foundation was formed by Princes William and Harry in 2009 to run their charitable campaigns and ventures and joined by Kate Middleton when she became Duchess of Cambridge in 2011. It became the “principle charitable vehicle for The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge” after October 1, following the departure of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex from the foundation.
