The Duchess of Kent has died at the age
of 92. A remarkable woman in every respect, she was a trailblazer –
breaking boundaries and starting conversations. The Duchess stepped
back from public life a couple of decades before her passing, but
maintained the position of being one of the most respected members
of the Royal Family. For decades, her work gave her a central role
among communities.
