The Duchess of Kent’s funeral details

By
5th September 2025

The Duchess of Kent died peacefully at Kensington Palace on Thursday at the age of 92.

Buckingham Palace will shortly be opening an online book of condolence for people to pay their respects to the duchess, who was the oldest member of The Royal Family after Queen Elizabeth II died in 2022.

Details of her funeral will be announced in the coming days.

It will likely be a relatively low key affair, in keeping with the duchess’s desire for a private and simple life.

Buckingham Palace say The King and Queen join the Duke of Kent in mourning at this difficult time.

Further details will be announced when appropriate.
