Did anyone see the special on Sunday night - on The History Channel...

I could have sworn that I saw the Duke of Kent in several pictures from the London Temple....
is he a Mason?

Yes, I believe he is.

The Duke of Kent has been the Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of England since 1967.
His father was Grand Master 1939-1942, and others have included the Duke of Devonshire, the Earl of Harewood, the Duke of Connaught and the Prince of Wales (before becoming Edward VII).

Thanks HelenW and Warren - I just wanted to make sure that it was he I saw.
I didnt know that some of the Royal family were Masons.
Thanks again!!

As title goes. I know she went retired from public I haven't seen anything on the Duchess of Kent. I use to watch Wimbleton and I miss her not been there. So I'm wandering if anyone has got recent pictures of her of late. I'm new to this forum so I'm hoping this a good question?

Thanks
