The 43-year-old Omaghomi is also a christian minister and one of the trustees of the Big Kid Foundation, a non-governmental organisation fighting against youth violence.

“Eva is an excellent choice for the new role. She’s loyal and discreet and the Prince trusts her judgment,” a source said.

Before her latest appointment, the British-Nigerian has been in the service of the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall for 13 years.
