Nice that we also go to see the Duchess. But sadly she doesn't look well
 
What lovely photos we got to see of The Duke and Duchess of Kent with their youngest son, and brother Prince Michael.

Happy Birthday Sir 🥳

What a wonderful occasion! Many happy returns to Steady Eddie.

Great to see the Duchess too. Her first public appearance since Wimbledon 2018?
She is indeed a rare sight nowdays but she attended a concert at St James’ Palace last year with her charity ”Future Talent”

 
On January 25 the Duke of Kent as Patron of the ball attended the Annual Polish Ball at the Hotel InterContinental London Park Lane:


 
I wish there was video of the Duke's speech in German. I was unaware,but not surprised that he speaks it.
 
It's lovely and moving that the Duke was able to visit Dresden. It's a matter close to his heart and it's good to see he is still well enough to travel abroad.
 
Well, to be fair, there haven't been a lot of opportunities for them to do so. Which is a good thing. Prince Harry flew Apache helicopters in Afghanistan and his uncle Andrew served in the Falklands, both of which were potentially disastrous for the BRF because in Andrew's case, Prince William hadn't been born yet, and I don't think Prince George had been born yet, either. Which means they were the heirs to the heir, at least for a short while.

King Frederik of Denmark has had extensive military training and is a Frogman in the Royal Navy, but if Denmark ever goes to war, do you think he'll be aboard ship somewhere? The days of royalty/monarchs serving in battle are long, long gone.
In 1970, the Duke of Kent commanded a squadron of his regiment in Cyprus as part of the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus. During the early 1970s, the Duke also served briefly in Northern Ireland with his regiment. Although those were not combat situations such as in the Falklands or Afghanistan, they were certainly operational deployments with a considerable associated risk.
