The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have appointed BBC broadcaster Zeinab Badawi as a director for their Royal Foundation. Prince William and Kate Middleton, both 38, selected the Sudanese-British broadcaster, 61, who is an Oxford University graduate and has spent years working for the BBC, to join the team heading up their organisation. The Royal Foundation became the 'principle charitable vehicle for The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge' from October 1, after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex broke away from the foundation last year. The Royal Foundation was set up by William and Harry in 2009 to run all their charitable campaigns and ventures, and joined by Kate when she became Duchess of Cambridge in 2011. The Foundation focuses on issues such as helping young people, wildlife conservation, cyberbullying and supporting the military.
