Duchess and Harry launch ‘brand’ apart from Palace
PRINCE Harry and Meghan have launched their own brand with a personal page on Instagram.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex plan to use it to update followers with their charity work and ventures as a couple.
The move marks the definitive split for them away from Kensington Palace and comes ahead of their move to Windsor.
Harry and Meghan are due within days to move into the renovated Frogmore Cottage on the Windsor Castle estate.
The five-bedroom cottage was given to them by the Queen after the wedding.
Amid persistent rumours of a falling out with brother William, Harry and his new wife will also set up an office at Buckingham Palace.
They will employ staff separate from the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and Meghan in snap uploaded yesterday INSIDER ON MOVE TO FOCUS ON THEIR WORK have recruited communications strategist Sara Latham, who has worked for Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Insiders have revealed the couple are “determined to create their own separate brand away from the rest of the Royal Family to provide better focus on the work important to them”.

A Palace source said: “They decided to launch social media channels away from the central Royal Family identity.”
