The palace has revealed the funeral of Her Royal Highness - whose name was Katharine Worsley - will take place at Westminster Cathedral on 16 September at 2:00pm.

Ahead of the funeral, the Duchess of Kent’s coffin will rest in the private chapel at Kensington Palace, which is incredibly sentimental as Kensington Palace is where the Duchess lived with her husband, the Duke of Kent, who still currently resides there.

The coffin will be taken by hearse to Westminster Cathedral on 15 September, where the Rite of Reception and Vespers will take place, on the eve of the Requiem Mass. Thereafter, it will rest overnight in the Lady Chapel.
