1 MIN AGO: Prince William Just Made A Tragic Announcement: “A royal is gone — it’s…”

In an address that was both deeply personal and respectful of her service, Prince William paid tribute to his great-aunt-by-marriage, noting her quiet dedication to the arts, music, and her lifelong work helping underprivileged children.

A Life of Quiet Service and Cultural Patronage

Born Katharine Worsley, she married Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, in 1961. Throughout her decades of service, the Duchess distinguished herself as a champion of music and education. She was the long-standing President of the Royal Northern College of Music and spent years working discreetly as a primary school music teacher under the name “Mrs. Kent,” a role she cherished deeply.
