It can be easy to forget that the Royal Family is, in so many ways, a family like any other but we all got a poignant reminder of this on 16th September as they came together to remember Katharine, Duchess of Kent who recently passed away. A Requiem Mass was held for her at Westminster Cathedral and the sight of so many royals united in their grief and in support of the Duke of Kent was incredibly moving.
He was married to Katharine for 64 years and whilst some people’s attention might naturally have been drawn to the King and Prince and Princess of Wales, I couldn’t help noticing the Duchess of Edinburgh’s moving gesture to him. After the funeral, Sophie caught the Duke’s eye and blew him a kiss.
