Following the Queen's death at the impressive age of 96, her cousin The Duke of Kent has become the oldest member of the Royal Family. Born on October 9, 1935 in Belgrave Square, London, Prince Edward was the son of Prince George and Princess Marina, The Duke and Duchess of Kent, and a grandson of King George V and Queen Mary. He has led an interesting life which has included decades of royal service, heading up one of the most secretive organisations and experiencing religious scandal within his own family.
As he marks his 87th birthday today, we look at his remarkable life and how he supported the Queen throughout her reign.
