She isn't a "working" Royal now so that might be why she's hanging back. I don't think I saw the Duke in the Abbey. The coverage of the congregation was piss-poor, they kept showing us the choir ad nauseam instead of the people we would be interested in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 2,194 Posted May 6, 2023 There's plenty of photos of the Duke in the Abbey, he was only second row back so quite prominent. Seems no worse. If anything, he was able to take more of a role in this one than the Queen's Funeral, but he still looks ghastly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't mean to suggest that he wasn't there, I meant I didn't see him during the broadcast. They were very stingy with shots of the congregation as I said. ETA Seen a photo now - he was next to Princess Anne. Never saw him on screen at all and I did wonder where he was. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can barely see her but it looks like the Duchess of Kent I have screenshot and zoomed in on @Toast photo and I'm not sure that the lady is the Duchess of Kent on the balcony Also she is not formally listed as attending. If it is her and I lean towards no, then she has aged quite strangely. I'm not sure. This seems to be the lady some say is the Duchess of Kent in green . A clearer pic I just found on twitter and now I'm going to say it's definitely not her. She seemed to be helping the unsteady looking Princess Alexandra. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She seems to have aged very suddenly. I know she's 86, but not too long ago she was doing engagements and looked as beautiful and elegant as ever.

harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,689 Posted June 22, 2023 Dukey presented Kingy with a trophy for his horsey winning at Royal Ascot. Much fawning and forelock-tugging all around. Huzzah! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoverAndOut 4,746 Posted July 5, 2023 Think this is the place for all the Kent clan? So I'll put it here rather than the Royal Family thread. Spent yesterday sat on Centre Court at Wimbledon and Prince Michael of Kent was in attendance along with, I believe, his daughter. Looked very frail. Walked with a stick, was very slow climbing and descending the steps and used the hand rail as well as his stick for support. Should've taken a photo, didn't. Tried to find a photo, haven't. Which maybe tells its own story... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
