The ceremony, which will take place at Westminster Cathedral, holds special importance as it will be the first Catholic funeral for a member of the British royal family in modern times. King Charles, who decided on the location after the Duchess converted to Catholicism in 1994, will honor the memory of a woman who had been a beloved part of the Royal Family for decades.
Accompanied by Queen Camilla, Charles will face this difficult moment with strength and respect, surrounded by other members of the Royal Family. The funeral follows a private vigil at Westminster Cathedral, where the Duchess’s widower, the Duke of Kent, and their children kept watch over her coffin. While King Charles and Queen Camilla refrained from attending the vigil, they will be there to show their support for the Duke and the Kent family.
The funeral procession, accompanied by a piper from the Royal Dragoon Guards, will transport the Duchess from Kensington Palace to Westminster Cathedral, honoring her legacy in a deeply emotional tribute.
