The Princess of Wales cut a sombre figure as she joined other members of the Royal Family for the Duchess of Kent’s funeral, held at Westminster Cathedral this afternoon. Kate opted for a sleek, tailored silhouette as she remembered the late Duchess who passed away earlier this month on September 4 at the age of 92.
The King led mourners at the service, along with Prince William, who was spotted next to Kate. The requiem mass was the first Catholic funeral for a senior royal since the Reformation – a moment already being hailed as historic in the monarchy’s relationship with the Church.
The Duchess of Kent was a much-respected figure within the monarchy. She devoted much of her life to charitable work, particularly championing aspiring young musicians. In keeping with the solemnity of the occasion, senior royals turned to a unified palette of sombre dress. Below, we round up in detail what each royal wore for this historic farewell.
