Duchess of Kent Passes Away

I'm not a huge fan of the royals but this woman stood out from the others by just getting on with being a good person and not drawing too much attention to herself.

I must say I shed a few tears when I heard the news.

She was so gracious and dignified, beautiful inside and out.
A life well lived, so kind and dedicated to helping others.

RIP Katharine, Duchess of Kent

Ditto to all the above. She was gracious and kind. Am exactly same age as her daughter Helen so always felt a little bit connected.

A very kind and gracious lady. RIP 💐

I will be honest and say I couldn’t bring her to mind at all, or the Duke of Kent come to that, but she sounds to have been much liked by GN members, which can’t be said for many in the RF.Most of the RF live to a good age.I will google all about her later.

RIP Duchess of Kent. She stepped away from the Royal family without creating an enormous hullabaloo.

A quiet and dignified woman, I'm sure she'll be missed.

What a nice, decent woman. She quietly got on and did her bit. RIP. The Duke of Kent will be bereft

Beautiful lady. I remember her from young musician, presenting the award.

I am sorry to hear that she has died ; she was an asset to the royal family. I hope she is at peace now.

I met her several times, we were both volunteers for the same charity , she
didn’t do official visits, she was on a rota and turned up regularly, she attended
conferences etc as a volunteer not as a royal.
I was told during the 1976 winter she volunteered to deliver meals on wheels.

RIP

Our primary school summer trip went through York the day after the wedding. I remember the wonderful floral decorations all over the city. She hadn't been seen much recently but will be much missed. Sympathy to her family and friends.

She volunteered as a Samaritan and was just known as Katherine.

There was a lovely documentary about her some time ago.
She gave her time to give musically gifted children from low income backgrounds the opportunity to flourish in the world of music. Unlike some Royals she didn't need to be splashed all over the media because of it.
A very elegant lady who struggled after losing her baby. RIP.

A gracious, gentle Lady, RIP 💐

Didn’t she teach at a school at one time? She came across as the loveliest of people. RIP

She taught singing/music in a school in Hull

Although she stepped down as a working royal she was a huge asset to the family. Intelligent, kind, courageous and dignified.
I’m sure they will miss her.

A lovely lady who'll be sorely missed RIP

She did Chardy a very ‘gentle’ woman.

One of the RF with a delicate touch. She always seemed a sensitive soul

I too remember the beautiful wedding of Katharine Worsley to the Duke of Kent. She was always a gracious lady. Lovely both inside and out.
As Duchess of Kent she presented my (late) son with his degree from Leeds University.
Rest in peace lovely lady.

She was an incredible woman.
