BBC: The funeral of the Duchess of Kent will be held at Westminster Cathedral on 16 September, with the King and Queen among the senior royals who will be in attendance, Buckingham Palace has announced.
The duchess, Katharine, died on Thursday aged 92, prompting tributes for her kindness and support for tennis and music - including working as a primary school music teacher.
The duchess was a Catholic and there will be a Requiem Mass for her funeral, which will be the first royal Catholic funeral in the UK in modern history.
It will be a private family service, after which the coffin will be taken to the royal burial ground in Frogmore in Windsor. » | Sean Coughlan, Royal correspondent | Saturday, September 6, 2025
