The Duchess of Kent was Katharine, Duchess of Kent (born Katharine Lucy Mary Worsley, 22 February 1933 – 4 September 2025). She was a member of the British royal family as the wife of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, who is a grandson of King George V. She converted to Catholicism in 1994 and had a long-standing interest in music. For many years, she was known for presenting the Ladies' Singles Trophy at Wimbledon and later taught music at a primary school in Kingston upon Hull, where she was known as "Mrs Kent." She co-founded the charity Future Talent to support musically gifted children from disadvantaged backgrounds. Katharine was the oldest living member of the British royal family after Queen Elizabeth II's death in 2022 until her own passing in 2025. After stepping back from royal duties in 2002, she lived a low-profile life but still attended major royal events sporadically, including the weddings of Prince William and Prince Harry. She passed away peacefully at Kensington Palace, surrounded by family, aged 92.
