Yes he has because he was with the Queen and DoE to open the Army Museum.

The Duchess stole the show at Wimbledon Friday

Apparently it was the first time in many years that she sat in the Royal Box.

IMO Wimbledon has never been the same since she gave up awarding the women's trophy.

 

[Lord_Royal]

It's wonderful to see The Duchess at Wimbledon. I agree that the tournament has not been the same since she stopped handing out the trophies. She has an aura of class and elegance that can't be taught or faked.

Today HRH The Duke of Kent reopened the Exploris Aquarium in Portaferry, County Down, Northern Ireland. I was a guest at the event - here are a few of my own pictures of the visit:
