The Duke and Duchess' philanthropic project, the Royal Foundation, released its annual report and wrote the charity is trying to improve diversity. "Diversity has always been considered in trustee recruitment and improving this has been a particular focus for the board and governance and nominations committee in 2020," the report wrote.

       The report released by the foundation concerns the year from January to December 2020.

       The royal couple are aiming to improve ethnic minority representation, reports have shown.

       The foundation's board consists of 10 people, and last year, Zeinab Badawi, a Sudanese-British BBC journalist, was appointed as a trustee.

       Recently, Ron Kalifa, a former Worldpay chief executive, joined the board.

       In 2018, Mr Kalifa was named one of the top 100 BAME leaders in business.

       In June, Buckingham Palace admitted its failings and increased efforts to improve diversity.

       The Sovereign Grant report showed only 8.5 percent of Palace employees are from an ethnic minority background.

       Palace aides have said they hope to increase diversity to 10 percent by the end of the year.
