Inside the Duke of Kent’s private royal family photo album
Although, no doubt, he would blanch at such a description, the Duke of Kent is one of the nation’s great unsung heroes. Modest and self-effacing, he has always seen his role as being to support the Queen, and he has been doing just that for the 70 years of her reign.He was born in 1935, so he is now 86, and he had the tragedy of losing his father, Prince George, in a wartime air crash in Scotland in 1942.
