The late Duchess of Kent was honoured by her family at a very special event on Sunday night.
Katherine's husband, Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent, 90, was supported by his younger brother, Prince Michael, 84, at a concert in Sinfonia Smith Square in London organised by the late royal's charity, Future Talent.
Also present were the Duke and Duchess's three children, Lady Helen Taylor, the Earl of St Andrews, and Lord Nicholas Windsor, in pictures shared by The Telegraph.
They were also joined by their grandchildren, Lady Marina – whose wedding was exclusively pictured by HELLO! earlier this year, and Lady Amelia Windsor.
Prince and Princess Michael of Kent's son, Lord Frederik Windsor, was joined by his wife, Peep Show actress Sophie Winkleman, who looked stunning in a bold red dress.
Prince Michael was seen using a walking aid and being supported as he entered the venue.
The Duke of Kent, his older brother, is still a working member of the royal family and carries out engagements on behalf of King Charles, including appearing on the balcony for Trooping the Colour earlier this year.
He is the oldest living member of the British royal family and has scaled back public appearances due to his advancing age and mobility issues in recent years.
A meaningful tribute to the Duchess of Kent
The evening concert made for a poignant tribute to the late Duchess, who passed away aged 92 in September 2025. Her husband, the Duke of Kent, is the first cousin of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
The Duke and Duchess shared a love of music, with Katharine founding Future Talent in 2004 to support talented young musicians from low-income backgrounds. She also left the charity £10,000 in her will.
The evening was hosted by Alexander Armstrong and included performances by more than 40 young musicians, including the Future Talent Orchestra.
One piece, Destiny's Journey by Future Talent alumnus Sam Nutter, was especially written in the Duchess of Kent's honour.
"Katharine’s love of life, her love of music, but most particularly, her love of people in all their infinite variety," Alexander said as he introduced the evening, as reported by The Telegraph.
“Katharine was no aloof patron of Future Talent. She loved nothing more than rolling up her sleeves and getting involved and getting her hands dirty. She loved to keep up with all of the musicians. So much so that she would frequently just ring them out of the blue, just to hear how they were getting on."
About the Duchess of Kent and her legacy
The Duchess of Kent passed away aged 92 last September, surrounded by her family at her Kensington Palace home.
A funeral service in her honour was held at Westminster Cathedral and was the first Catholic service held for a royal in modern British history. It was attended by senior royals including the King and Queen, and the Prince and Princess of Wales.
After stepping back from royal duties in 2002, she dropped her HRH style and withdrew from royal life to teach music in a state primary school in Hull.
The Duchess dedicated her life to supporting others. She taught part-time in a school attended by children who lived in Grenfell Tower, volunteered for the Samaritans, and toured countries as a UNICEF ambassador.
