According to the source, Queen Elizabeth has given a new responsibility to the Duchess of Sussex. She is going to become the patron of the London's National Theatre, in addition to the her role as Commonwealth Youth Ambassador. In the news, it is said that the Duchess have discussed the role when she met with Rufus Norris, the director of the National Theatre, in December.

The National Theatre is located in London's South Bank and was officially opened by the Queen in 1976 after it moved from its first home at the Old Vic.
