Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Royal Family Attends Duchess of Kent's Funeral
Caption: Royal Family Attends Duchess of Kent's Funeral. King Charles and the Prince and Princess of Wales attended the Duchess of Kent’s funeral at Westminster Cathedral. The service on September 16 was historic as it marked the first Catholic requiem mass for a Royal Family member in modern times. Katharine, Duchess of Kent, died at 92 on September 4; she had been the oldest living royal since Queen Elizabeth II’s death in 2022. Queen Camilla could not attend due to acute sinusitis. Buckingham Palace confirmed she is recovering and resting at Windsor. Her absence casts doubt on her participation in the upcoming events for U.S. President Donald Trump's state visit. During the mass, Archbishop Miguel Maury Buendia read Pope Leo XIV’s message praising the Duchess for her faith and service. Prince Andrew, Sarah Ferguson, and figures like Sir Jackie Stewart, Rula Lenska, and Dame Maureen Lipman also attended. The Royal Family united in mourning at this significant and solemn ceremony.
