Kate middleton’s new member of staff has exciting new responsibility

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge hired Hannah Cockburn-Logie OBE earlier in June. Former royal private secretaries have recently been taking very important roles in government and other

areas. Hannah Cockburn-Logie, despite her short tenure as private secretary, has recently been appointed as the director of the Cambridge’s Royal Foundation. This is in addition to her

responsibilities like organising Kate's diary and meetings, as well as accompanying her on engagements once lockdown ends. The news of her appointment comes from her LinkedIn profile,

and was confirmed from the government’s Companies House. She had an existing relationship with the royals, as she arranged and accompanied the couple on their seven day tour in India and

Bhutan in April 2016. READ MORE: MEGHAN MARKLE AND PRINCE HARRY'S ARCHEWELL TRADEMARK REJECTED FOR SURPRISING REASON Previously Cockburn-Logie had worked as a Political and Engagement

Counsellor for the UK Permanent Representation to the EU. She held this position for a year and nine months, and was stationed in Brussels, Belgium. She has also done some work with the UK

government, holding the position of Head of Political and Bilateral Relations for the British High Commission in India. She departed this role in 2018, after four years and 3 months.     It

comes after Kate’s former private secretary Catherine Quinn departed her role six months ago. She had held the position for two years, before moving onto other roles and challenges. Sources

told English at the time of Quinn’s departure:"Catherine is a thoroughly lovely lady and has achieved a lot working for the duchess. “But she simply wants to take a step back and focus

again on her charity work. "They are parting on the best of terms." Prince William’s former private secretary, Simon Case, departed the Cambridge royals last month. He was drafted

in to assist the government’s response to the coronavirus pandemic. The Prime Minister's official spokesman said: "Simon is working on the coronavirus response in No 10 as a

permanent secretary. “Simon is with us temporarily from the Royal household. “He is specifically co-ordinating the coronavirus response. “Coronavirus is obviously a very significant piece of

cross-Government work."
