Earlier this year it was announced that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would be parting ways when it came to their future charitable efforts. Formerly called The Royal Foundation when it was founded in 2009, the two couples ultimately joined forces in an attempt to work as a group. However, the name has now made yet another change, which marks Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's official exit.

According to People, the name had been amended to The Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and The Duke and Duchess of Sussex. This change took place following Meghan's official entry into the family. However, the Sussexes have now been dropped from the name, according to documents published by Companies House and shared by the Sun.

Meghan and Harry then went on to create their own charity in July, which was ultimately named The Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

A source previously told People that it is not a breakup but instead a "natural progression." Additionally, the palace released a statement in June of this year that said both couples would "continue to work together on projects in the future, including on The Foundation's mental health programme, Heads Together."

Harry and Meghan's decision to leave the foundation is not the only thing they have decided to change moving forward. Recently, they have also hired the first female-led senior staff and opted to lead in new ways.
