Featured Tribute: Duchess of Kent
One of our highlighted obituaries right now is about Katharine, Duchess of Kent. She passed away on September 4, 2025, at the age of 92. Born Katharine Worsley in Yorkshire, she spent most of her adult life connected to Leeds. In 1965 she became the Chancellor of Leeds University and stayed a familiar face at graduations and campus events for decades.
Beyond the university, the Duchess taught music in state schools and helped launch Future Talent in 2004, a program that gives young musicians a chance to develop their skills. Her marriage at York Minster linked her story to historic British traditions, and her public service kept her in the public eye for over half a century.
What makes her story worth reading? It’s the blend of royalty, education, and grassroots work. She wasn’t just a royal figure; she was a teacher, a mentor, and a steady presence in her community. If you want a quick look at her life, this obituary gives the key points without unnecessary detail.
