When the
#DuchessofKent passed away in September, the story of her extraordinary life was told. The verdict? ‘As a member of the
#RoyalFamily, she got it absolutely right,’ reflects royal historian Hugo Vickers, who, in the January issue, goes inside palace circles to profile the royal.
Born Katharine Worsley in Yorkshire, she grew up far from the pageantry she would eventually join, and carried that unpretentious grace with her through her decades spent supporting the Crown.
Her marriage to the Duke of Kent thrust her into the public eye, yet she carved out a role entirely her own: champion of education, devoted supporter of young musicians, a familiar face at Wimbledon and, later, a teacher known fondly as ‘Mrs Kent.’
With rare access to the family, Vickers paints the definitive portrait of the popular Duchess in the January issue – on newsstands 4 December.
