The Duchess of Cambridge's new right-hand woman has been given an incredible role shortly after taking up her post as Kate's private secretary. Hannah Cockburn-Logie has been appointed as a director of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's Royal Foundation, according to information from Companies House.

It comes as William, Kate and Prince Harry's former private secretary Anthony James Moxton Lowther-Pinkerton LVO, MBE and Theresa Mary Green have both stepped down from the board and are no longer trustees.
