Octopus of Odstock 2,218 Posted December 9, 2020 In the fifteen years I've been here, I've started only eight topics about individuals. All eight - Ian Smith, Ray Bradbury, Bulent Ecevit, Patrick Allen, Phil Hill, Floyd Patterson, Alfredo Stroessner and Juan Antonio Samaranch are dead. Yay me! So, it's high time for number nine. The Duke of Kent. He looks like shite. Evidence provided. Link from Daily Express (sorry) shows how gaunt he is. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1359308/Duke-of-Kent-title-prince-edward-son-George-Windsor-line-of-succession-EVG/amp I am sure this thread will reverberate with all your Duke of Kent stories and anecdotes! I think he should be picked for DL 2021. That is all. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,709 Posted December 10, 2020 Man, I never even knew we like HAD a duke, I ain’t never seen him in Canterbury or Ashford or nothing. I thought we was an autonomous collective to be honest. And so I heard he even lives in London, right, but he’s our boss? That is some shit, the lazy old fucker. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 9,653 Posted December 10, 2020 I think he will have a race to the finish with his Old Lady who hasn't really been seen out much so it is harder to judge. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 11,094 Posted December 10, 2020 I guess this is a good spot to mention that video again: I gave him about 2-3 years in the "Royal Family" thread. Might have to reduce that to 1-2 years. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 2,218 Posted April 15, 2021 Attending Prince P's funeral so we can do form watching. If I've read the guest list correctly, Duchess of Kent is NOT going. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neither is Prince Michael of Kent which is far more surprising than his wife not going. Once the Queen remarked that Proncess Michael was "more royal than us". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 16,246 Posted April 16, 2021 I may be wrong but I think it's Alexander Ogilvy, grandson of Princess Alexandra. The older chap is Lord Nicholas Windsor, younger son of the Duke of Kent. (I think) 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, it's a pity the Duke didn't inherit the good looks of his parents. Princess Alexandra is beautiful.

With the caveat that I didn't watch from the start of the coverage, I didn't see the Duke of Kent, the Duke of Gloucester, Princess Alexandra, Penny, the Germans, or Lady Sarah & Daniel Chatto.
