HRH The Duke of Kent has been a central figure in the British Royal Family, supporting his cousin, The Queen, throughout his life. His royal duties began in 1952 at age sixteen, when he participated in the procession for King George VI and later paid homage at The Queen's Coronation in 1953. Since then, he has been involved in significant Royal events, representing The Queen at independence ceremonies and riding with her during the 1981 Trooping the Colour incident. He was the oldest soldier on parade at the 2020 Remembrance Sunday and stood alongside The Queen during her official birthday celebrations in June 2021 as Colonel of the Scots Guards. This account, based on conversations with Royal historian Hugo Vickers, offers a unique perspective on the Duke's life, covering his upbringing, twenty-one years in the army, and his involvement with over 140 organizations, including presenting trophies at Wimbledon for over 50 years. It features recollections of family members like Princess Marina, Queen Mary, and Prince Philip. The Duke's keen photography is showcased with never-before-seen images from his collection, alongside contributions from family members, including the Duchess of Kent and his siblings. This work presents an unprecedented and insightful glimpse into Royal history.
