I worked (in my long and very varied career) for a Cancer Charity(in reception) and she came in.I called her "Your Royal Highness" but she said no most firmly, that I was to address her only as Kate.Forevermore it was Kate,she is a kind,friendly and funny person,and a wonderful human being.
I’ve always admired and respected this wonderful lady. Pure class and so humble. Such a pretty girl still adorable. Thank you for all your charitable work Katherine.⭐️⭐️
True class is not dependent upon your ancestors' titles, or the amount of money in your bank account. True class always comes from within your own soul. She's stunning!!
@@HalisIstanbullu You simply speak the truth. You are clearly a soul who is no stranger to this earth. I stand beside you with the wisdom and honour gained. Take good care.
A MARVELOUS Lady. A lady who has given her SOUL to service. Always a pleasure to see this Lady, Grand-child of a Monarch, as we know. Thank you Ma'am. xxx
Just before she answered the question, "What do the children call you?", I wondered what the children called her. I was so happy to here they called her Mrs. Kent. She said, "You can't be stymied, you find somebody to help." What a wonderful person, which shows in her youth and enthusiasm at 78.
I don't think it's disrespectful to call her by her first name - she is obviously one of the few classy royals who isn't offended to be treated as a normal human being (in fact she seems to prefer it) I believe she's an example to all of them, she does tremendous hands on charity work and I personally treasure the memory of shaking her hand the day she gave me my degree at Leeds University in 1981, dressed in a rather sycophantic Lady Di frilled collar blouse (me not her!)
She actually prefers to not engage with protocol,hence her decision to work under the title of Mrs Kent.She 'suffered' with depression for a number of years & retreated from the public eye for some time.I recall some time back,in another rare interview that she admitted that her work with children & teaching music saved her from the depths of despair.It was her husband the Duke of Kent who took over the presentation of the champion's cup at Wimbledon when she withdrew from public life.
@@rinioktapianainggolanron4967 she had to have an abortion in 1975 because she contracted german measles while pregnant, and two years later gave birth to a stillborn son (Patrick). As a mother myself I can't even start to imagine what that must've done to the poor woman...
@@krishnan-resurrection714 She has done alot of charitable work out of site of media, teaches children, has spent time working telephone lines on Samaritan help lines, has championed people with mental illness. What did you do today?
The Duchess of Kent decided in 2002 not to use personally the style 'Her Royal Highness' and to reduce her royal duties. Since then she has been informally known as Katharine Kent or Katharine, Duchess of Kent, although her formal style (e.g. in the Court Circular) remains HRH The Duchess of Kent. She always since there love to be known informally
I do wonder that the issue of members of the Royal Family marrying so-called commoners played a large part in 'Mrs.Kent's' depression.That aside,she is a dignified & eloquent lady whom the Queens is said to be extremely fond & protective of.As it should be.It was a treat to see her in this interview......tho' I held my breath when Alan asked her if she still liked to sing,lol.Referencing her membership of the Bach Choir.Tho' I'm sure it would've been made clear to him that,No,she wouldn't sing.
Anthony, she does not like to be called Ma'am. She has cast off all that sycophantic nonsense. Have you never seen her on Young Musician of theYear, where she is introduced as Katherine Kent. Titchmarsh would have done as he was asked. If you listen to what she says, it makes sense. What a gentle and sweet voice she has.
It's unnatural appearing. And, it does nobody any good. But, I will say this about them. They're actually WAY more accessible than the President of the United States, who can't even shake hands with the public. You can't get within 50 of the president. He lives in bubble and I must admit, it's rather unappealing. At least the royals shake hands.
I think both of these comments are true, she is a truely lovely lady, but has she ever had to work because she had to, has she had to do her own house work, she has been born in to money, and been supported by it. 🐩🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
@@mariaevans7811 That should not take away from the good work that she has done. Youprobably earn a living. Have you gone out of your way to be charitable at all? Your comment is certainly uncharitable.
She has a history of an inconsistent personality. It's not a bad thing, but it just seems to be the case. I'm sure titles were important to her at one point and now she feels she needs to cast them off.
She was 28 when she married the Duke (in 1961) and found out that the Royal Family was full of formality and unwritten rules (until you break them) After losing a baby in 1975,aged 42,she became even more detached (due to depression caused by the loss) from the Royal Family,and sadly from the Duke.She lived on her own for some years,but now it seems is back with the Duke,presumably with age you need what is familiar and loving around you. Having met her on several occasions I can say she is a wonderful human being.
Very cruel remark. She suffered from depression -- that doesn't make her as mad as a hatter. SOme people are rather quick with their judgements and comments. Some people like you, Troll.

She was 78 when she gave this interview! Her speaking voice sounds incredibly youthful.
Euro-African Very true!!!
It helps when one does not smoke.
True class is not dependent upon your ancestors' titles, or the amount of money in your bank account. True class always comes from within your own soul. She's stunning!!
....and that, right there, is the solid truth !! Well done ;-)
@@Prolinium A humble thank- you.

@@Prolinium That's very kind of you. Take care, too.
the person who abused me and 2 others as children was a freemason ..... you talk rubbish !!!!
her voice is amazing its so musical!
Her voice is very youthful as well.
She is my favorite royal, she's humble but yet full with dignity.
Just love her. So understated and so classic.
A MARVELOUS Lady. A lady who has given her SOUL to service. Always a pleasure to see this Lady, Grand-child of a Monarch, as we know. Thank you Ma'am. xxx
Andrew Lang I believe her husband is a grandchild of monach George V.
Andrew Lang its her husband Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, who is the Queen's cousin and a grandchild of King George V
she never had a soul in the first place ...-neither did the duke of Kent ! ......
Wonderful wonderful person.She is my favorite royal.
This woman is class personified, love her.

If she were to refer to herself has Miss Worsley, that will really throw them off the trail.
Such a charming, dignified woman ! And her husband is a prince and she’s happy to be called Mrs. Kent. What a good example.
And she is 78 years old. Respect Mrs. Kent !!!
Great lady helping many children. So sad that she had an unhappy time in her life. We did just see her briefly at the recent royal wedding. Good.
She is absolute wonderful!
have always admired the duchess,miss seeing her at wimbledon

..are you talking about Alan 'Titties' Titmarsh here ? ......
She has a young voice!!!
She looks so much younger than her actual age, she comes across as a wonderful caring lady!!!!! 🐩🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
what is her age ..100 ? ....then she looks good! .......

Why have you put suffered in quotation marks?
Why the Duchess upss Mrs. Kent got depression?

..I dont think any of these royals have 'suffered' much in Life ...rather They create suffering for everyone else! .. . ..Truly Ghastly people !!!!
@@michelez715 good question
What a smashing lady.
Such a great lady
..based upon ???? ......

What a wonderful woman!
Refreshing, informative and totally good on her GBY
I think if 'would be' princesses followed this fine lady's example, they would not go far wrong.
Love her so much. ❤
Beautiful Katharine, she's precious
Such a genuinely charming kind lady. Shes wonderful ❤
What a classy lady!I can also see her frsikty.
one of the great Lady in world....

Wonderful Yorkshire Lass! X X X
pure class
I deserve an award for being with her for 60 years
Sir, spoken like a true husband. Lol

Music is immensely helpful with learning maths in school.
very interesting
Remarkable human being.
A great lady.
Anthony, she does not like to be called Ma'am. She has cast off all that sycophantic nonsense. Have you never seen her on Young Musician of theYear, where she is introduced as Katherine Kent. Titchmarsh would have done as he was asked. If you listen to what she says, it makes sense. What a gentle and sweet voice she has.
She is beautiful.
Oh to be able to play the guitar or piano. She is so right
Certainly doesn't look 78! Ageless and elegant lady
She's so lovely!
Grace and Beauty
Duchess teacher please speak and teach us....
I love this beautiful, hardworking woman.
It's nice to see a member of the Royal Family who actually appears to be HUMAN. The rest of them are so stiff and scripted and rather boring.
I love her.
It's unnatural appearing. And, it does nobody any good. But, I will say this about them. They're actually WAY more accessible than the President of the United States, who can't even shake hands with the public. You can't get within 50 of the president. He lives in bubble and I must admit, it's rather unappealing. At least the royals shake hands.
Not really. They are very human, with a great sense of humour. I think that the public expects them to be formal, so they are, in public.
Not true.
A real lady.
He called her Katharine!!! I thought it was supposed to be ma'am
She has put aside ALL Royal formality and prefers(as she said) to be called Mrs Kent.
0
She does not care to be referred to by royal title.
so rude he calls her by her first name
French Classes from LogicLanguageLearning She will have asked him too!
Not rude, she doesn’t follow royal protocol and he would have been briefed on this
Mrs kent , or kate. She is so lovely.A very hard working royal lady
Non! She has expressed very strongly, she MUST be called by her first name.
Not at all, she prefers that.
See her in Lourdes 🇫🇷
Lucky you!!! Would love to go there!!!! 🐩🇬🇧🇬🇧
How is Katharine Kent able to teach music in state schools without a formal qualification?
Why is this video titled Katherine Kent, when she is HRH the Duchess of Kent? Very disrespectful!
That is what she wants to be known as now,she hates Royal formality
She prefers not to be referred by Royal title. She stepped back from ROyal life, without fanfare like Harry and the fake Duchess Meghan.
What happened to her marriage.
She and the Duke are still married.
frailty
Linda Watkin Physically perhaps, psychologically perhaps, mentally, I think not.
I don't think she is frail at all. She is quite strong in her opinions, actions.
The subtitles are laughably bad.
How easy it must be to be kind, generous and gracious when you do so supported by endless streams of other peoples money.
That's a really petty comment. Anyone with a heart can do things to help others. It just needs someone who isn't selfish. Try it.
I think both of these comments are true, she is a truely lovely lady, but has she ever had to work because she had to, has she had to do her own house work, she has been born in to money, and been supported by it. 🐩🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Kate. Isn't she wonderful?
The only decent Royal out of the lot...I think she is very sick now..best wishes to her but time for the Royals to efff orfff !!
so if she didn't want to be the Duchess of Kent, why marry the Duke of Kent?
You can't help who you fall in love with.
Because she fell in love with the man?? NOT the title, oh sorry seen yo pic.
She has a history of an inconsistent personality. It's not a bad thing, but it just seems to be the case. I'm sure titles were important to her at one point and now she feels she needs to cast them off.

The duchess of fucking Kent.
Classless, gutter existence contribution.
Mad as a hatter.
