Meghan and Harry share details about their new charity – including name

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are about to embark on yet another exciting new chapter in their lives – launching their own charity foundation.

Earlier this year the couple announced they would be splitting away from the Royal Foundation , which they shared with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge , to start their own organisation.

While many fans believed this could be the latest casualty of a rumoured fall-out between the royal couples, official statements said it was to allow them to focus on their separate causes .

And now further details of the new Foundation have been made public on the Companies House website in the lead up to its official launch.

The new charity will be called Sussex Royal The Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the couple's first project will be protecting lions in Africa, reports to  The Sun .

However, royal sources have already started poking fun at the name Sussex Royal , with many saying it sounds like a potato.

One royal source said: “The new name is all about  Harry and Meghan building their brand and doing it their way.

“But the name is a little surprising as we were expecting something a bit more traditional.”

The couple have also appointed some of the senior team who will hopefully make it a huge success.

They have made director, who they worked with at the Royal Foundation, as director.

The source told the Sun: “Natalie is great and was already leading on much of the Sussexes’ work so it was a natural progression.
