The Duke has been quite active lately. It's always a delight to see him "in action". I was wondering if he and the Duchess would slow down after the lockdowns but if anything, it seems to have given them some extra energy.

They all seem to be taking the Duke of Kent's pronouncement that whilst the Queen is still working, so will they seriously.

It's also good to see the Duke visiting a huge redevelopment site given that he trained as an architect.
