@jeannelederman8992 I understand and appreciate your sentiment and your reply, but I can not agree with you because 'Amen' means 'coming into agreement with', and 'let it be so.' We need more respect, honor and dignity in this cesspool. Now that I can say Amen to. I appreciate your reply 👊
Bravo to the Duke of Kent..you have served your country, your commissions and the Monarchy with never failing dignity,,,thank you . Congratulation to Prince Edward, The Duke of Edinburgh, who I believe will continue do serve as Colonel of the Scottish Guards with the same dignity and dedication.
The Duke of Kent served in the Scots Guards for over 20 years he left Sandhurst in 1955 and retired from the Army in 1976 so they would have been been so proud to have him as their Regimental Colonel l like the Duke of Edinburgh, but l don't think he's suitable for a Military role our late Queen did her service for our country in WWII, her father served in WWI our King served in the navy and commanded a Minesweeper he also learned to fly jets in the R.A.F and flew Helicopters The Duke of Kent's father was killed in a plane crash in 1942 serving our country The Duke of York was in the Navy 20 years and served in the Falklands War and there are others and l know if Anne had been allowed to serve, she would have done well too but Edward could not even complete his training and he QUIT

It is in the press just not a major royal event. I like this channel because it highlights these military events through the year. Today, Monday 15th April, the Glasgow Herald had a large front page photo of soldiers at this event.
HRH Prince Edward, The Duke of Kent has and still continues to be an unsung hero of Our Monarchy and was a great support to Our Dear Late Queen Elizabeth during her Reign...... THANK YOU SIR 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Unending gratitude to Prince Edward, Duke of Kent for your loyalty and service of so many years! Warmest wishes to Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh to carry on the Duke of Kent's legacy in a manner to make him proud.
@@gordonsmith8899I so admire Princess Alexandra for her discipline and service especially after losing her father at such a young age. Her lovely face expresses such grace and so much kindness!
A grand Duke indeed.... He has always been there... as his late cousin was throughout my 60+ years of life. I am very glad he is still with us. His cousin would be proud. Bravo your RH Edward!
@@comradeleppi2000HMTLQ's father, King George VI, and Prince Edward, Duke of Kent's father, Prince George, were brothers. Both of them were sons of King George V.
Royal or not, any man who takes responsibilities seriously and performs his tasks well has a lot to be proud of and leaves a legacy of duty. Wishing him well.
Here’s to a happy retirement for HRH the Duke of Kent. He is a wonderful example of a faithful, devoted and hardworking member of the Royal Family, supporting the late Queen and more recently King Charles. How lucky we are to have HRH the Duke of Edinburgh to step up and take over as colonel of the Scots Guards. Congratulations to Prince Edward.
How splendid . HRH The Prince Edward , Duke of Kent handing over . The Duke has quietly served the Crown and Country with the utmost loyalty and - dignity over many decades . I am certain that The Prince Edward , now Duke of Edinburgh , will follow on and fill those huge “shoes” .
Brilliant! Thank you for everything Duke of Kent! Enjoy your much deserved retirement. And thank you Prince Edward for taking over the role! What a great person to have taken the ropes.
HRH Prince Edward, Duke of Kent has served Crown and Country diligently for decades without any fuss or fanfare. It is very fitting that he is handing over to the other Prince Edward, now Duke of Edinburgh who will become the new Colonel of the Scots Guards.
His dedication to service and duty to Monarchy & his country is appreciated , hope you enjoy a well deserved happy retirement, Thank you Duke of Edinburgh I’m sure will do a wonderful job ❤️❤️
The duke of kent.one if the most steadfast working member of the royal family.one who does his duty with sincerity and dedication for the service of crown and country.salute to you!!!❤❤❤
God bless you Sir, for your years of service to the country and being such a good example to others. When you were on the balcony with QEII there was no one who was a better representative. I wish you well. We can all still learn a lot from you. Thank you for your service.
How sad to see the end of this great man's career. So bittersweet for a man so dedicated to his country his whole life and served Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II her whole reign. Not many can say that. What loyal subject and cousin he is. I hope the people of the UK realize what a true treasure he has been for his country. The world needs more like him. I believe Prince Edward is the right man to fill his shoes. Two men who are so steadfast in their loyalty to the people they represent and serve. Also ,these two men quietly go about their duties, not searching for self agrandizement but just doing their best .
This is amazing. I am so proud.😃😃😃😃😃 A huge kiss on the cheek to the Duke of Kent and the Duke of Edinburgh. HLMQEII and Prince Philip would have been so proud. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Congratulations for a noble and faithful service to the Monarchy and a very glorious farewell. May the baton of loyalty continue ever excellently and never to be swayed. Wishes of a deserved rest sir and successful reign of the Duke of Edinburgh.🙏
He served loyalty and deserves to retire. The Queen held him in great esteem. Funny how much he resembles Charles in a few years and a few Lbs less he will look like a twin brother. Edward is the best successor, he and Sophie are the favorite couple of the kingdom.
Thank you to the Duke of Kent for his long service despite his age and difficulty in walking. His commitment to duty and service is amazing. He is an honour to the Greatest Generation that ever lived
The Duke of Kent, called "Steady Eddie" for his steadfast service to the late Queen, and now the King, will leave large shoes for Prince Edward to fill. I can think of no better example of duty and loyalty to the Crown and country than his life.
The Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh doesn't need to fill anyone's shoes as he is a higher-ranking royal and has his own legacy. He need only do a good job fulfilling his duties and representing them as is required and expected of him now that the role has passed on to him, but he's not assuming the DOK's position in the RF, just this role and maybe others. The Duke of Edinburgh has his own legacy.
@@Imperatrix-Matilda I meant no disrespect at all to Prince Edward, DOE, as he and his wife Sophie are favorites of mine as well, was just simply trying to make the point that the Duke of Kent has done an amazing job for well over 50 years, and the family could always rely on him.
Fun fact: The Duke of Kent is the last living major participant at King George VI’s funeral in 1952. He walked directly behind the casket at the age of 15. He was representing his dad, who had died in a plane crash in WWII
@@Imperatrix-Matilda SHARON is such a bogan! She's putting Prince Edward down left right up and upside down and yet has no problem that none of the women have military experience either.
With quiet dignity, he’s a hero. All his life he supported the Queen in her role, he was honourable and very loyal to the Crown. Now a frail old man, with mobility issues, he deserves all our respect for his Service. QE2 had a lot of time for him and could always rely on him. I wish him well. Harry would do well to take a leaf out of his book.
The Duke of Kent deserved such honourable farewell event as appreciation of his past years contributions, leadership & faithfulness to the royal family.
Actually, it's Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, KG, GCMG, GCVO, CD, ADC, but you're not here because you know what you're talking about are you. This is how you spend your days.@@Gray-d7h
@@Gray-d7h Yes make sure to have all your alts like your comments.. like no one knows what you're doing. You should be embarrassed that you are this obsessed with other people. Instead of enjoying the videos you spend your time making new accounts and looking for photos that look like theirs but not exactly. You've done it to me at least 4 times.
Actually he is the son of the former Duke of Kent - HRH The Prince George, Duke of Kent, not "Prince George of Kent" as that would make him his own son. The current DOK was born HRH Prince Edward of Kent as the son of The Duke of Kent.
A life fulfilled with dedication, honour and service to the crown and country. We bow to thee and thank you for your service. May you live long and prosperous. You deserve to relax and enjoy the rest of your life now.
Made me weep tears of pride in such a brave heart , his many many medals of honour weighing heavily on his jacket… i was born in Edinburgh, my maiden name was Kent, it is a deep deep honour and a blessing to have had this pure soul in this office for so long. I will miss him with a very heavy heart, we will not see his like again, but his post will be filled with honour by our Prince who will no doubt strive with every sinew to walk as closely in his footsteps with the greatest integrity, as possible for as long as possible. May God go with both of them , thankyou for your honourable service to the people, go with love and peace.
He is from a generation that we will never see again.....honor, duty, and respect. God bless you sir!
My thoughts as well
Having lost his father young he was walking behind the coffin of his uncle George v1 back in 1952
Yes he is I suppose the last one left from that time
Prince Phillip and Queen Elizabeth now gone
I think also of Duke of Gloucester getting on now

Unending gratitude to Prince Edward, Duke of Kent for your loyalty and service of so many years! Warmest wishes to Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh to carry on the Duke of Kent's legacy in a manner to make him proud.
They don’t make them like these anymore,The Queen,her husband and the Duke of Kent’s outstanding service to their country was extraordinary !
We mustn't overlook his wonderful sister, Princess Alexandra of Kent.
don't ignore Prince Michael either, he also served.

and her beautiful mother; Marina of Greece.
@@gordonsmith8899I so admire Princess Alexandra for her discipline and service especially after losing her father at such a young age. Her lovely face expresses such grace and so much kindness!
Well done to the Duke of Kent and many congratulations for a job well done
A grand Duke indeed.... He has always been there... as his late cousin was throughout my 60+ years of life. I am very glad he is still with us. His cousin would be proud. Bravo your RH Edward!
Just a great man he has served his country all his adult life and we thank you for being such a great advert of how to act in the Royal Family. 🇬🇧🇬🇧
God Bless the Royal family.
He’s been very faithful. I’m sure you all are proud of his service. Hope the Duke of Kent enjoys his time with his loved ones.
A very loyal hardworking member ❤The Duke of Kent, never let his late cousin down The late Queen Elizabeth 2nd
So he is her cousin brother?
@@comradeleppi2000HMTLQ's father, King George VI, and Prince Edward, Duke of Kent's father, Prince George, were brothers. Both of them were sons of King George V.
Royal or not, any man who takes responsibilities seriously and performs his tasks well has a lot to be proud of and leaves a legacy of duty. Wishing him well.
Here’s to a happy retirement for HRH the Duke of Kent. He is a wonderful example of a faithful, devoted and hardworking member of the Royal Family, supporting the late Queen and more recently King Charles. How lucky we are to have HRH the Duke of Edinburgh to step up and take over as colonel of the Scots Guards. Congratulations to Prince Edward.
Truly an honorable royal man stepping down from a position that brought him great joy. Prince Edward will find great joy too!
God bless him for being faithful in his duties service. Well done. More people like him are needed in this world .
I got emotional watching this , talk about loyalty and duty and service to Queen and Country . God save the King Charles III.
Congratulations to the Duke of Edinburgh, maybe the Duke of Kent can now sit back and rest god he deserves it. ❤👑
How splendid . HRH The Prince Edward , Duke of Kent handing over . The Duke has quietly served the Crown and Country with the utmost loyalty and - dignity over many decades . I am certain that The Prince Edward , now Duke of Edinburgh , will follow on and fill those huge “shoes” .
Brilliant! Thank you for everything Duke of Kent! Enjoy your much deserved retirement. And thank you Prince Edward for taking over the role! What a great person to have taken the ropes.
Thank you sir .Your life you have served.
Thank you for your commitment and service Sir
Prince Edward is made if the same mold as the duke of kent.steadfast,honorable and loyal.
They are both named Edward as well. 😄
Congratulations to the Duke of Kent, he served his country well!
Thank you for your exemplary service to the country, Your Royal Highness! #DukeofKent
He will be missed. He is one of the last of a generation ❤❤❤❤
Well done, Sir!!!! 👏👏👏👏
HRH Prince Edward, Duke of Kent has served Crown and Country diligently for decades without any fuss or fanfare. It is very fitting that he is handing over to the other Prince Edward, now Duke of Edinburgh who will become the new Colonel of the Scots Guards.
His dedication to service and duty to Monarchy & his country is appreciated , hope you enjoy a well deserved happy retirement, Thank you Duke of Edinburgh I’m sure will do a wonderful job ❤️❤️
It's a shame when you still feel young in your head but your knees don't agree.Hope the Duke of Kent has a happy retirement.
The duke of kent.one if the most steadfast working member of the royal family.one who does his duty with sincerity and dedication for the service of crown and country.salute to you!!!❤❤❤
God bless you Sir, for your years of service to the country and being such a good example to others. When you were on the balcony with QEII there was no one who was a better representative. I wish you well. We can all still learn a lot from you. Thank you for your service.
Thank you to the DUKE OF KENT FOR ALL HIS HARD WORK ON BEHALF OF THE ROYAL FAMILY, HOPE HE ENJOYS HIS LITTLE BIT OF SPARE TIME X
How wonderful for the Prince Edward, Duke of Kent. Thank you for your dedicated Service, enjoy a bit of “free time”.
How sad to see the end of this great man's career. So bittersweet for a man so dedicated to his country his whole life and served Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II her whole reign. Not many can say that. What loyal subject and cousin he is. I hope the people of the UK realize what a true treasure he has been for his country. The world needs more like him. I believe Prince Edward is the right man to fill his shoes. Two men who are so steadfast in their loyalty to the people they represent and serve. Also ,these two men quietly go about their duties, not searching for self agrandizement but just doing their best .
Such an incredible and loyal and awe inspiring member of the Royal Family. ❤🎉
I was very touched when they left at a very slow pace with the Queen’s coffin on the first leg so that the Duke could walk in honor of his cousin.
Well done to the Duke of Kent. God Bless.
This is amazing. I am so proud.😃😃😃😃😃 A huge kiss on the cheek to the Duke of Kent and the Duke of Edinburgh. HLMQEII and Prince Philip would have been so proud. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Can you imagine being part of something that has been around since the 17th century? Amazing!
Good luck to Duke of Kent , Thank you for your service and dedication
One of the queens most trusted loyal servant. Enjoy your retirement sir.x
Excellent service dear Duke of Kent, many thanks! Welcome Duke of Edinburgh 😃
Congratulations for a noble and faithful service to the Monarchy and a very glorious farewell. May the baton of loyalty continue ever excellently and never to be swayed. Wishes of a deserved rest sir and successful reign of the Duke of Edinburgh.🙏
He is a wonderfully man of his generation a true gentleman and loyal much to be admired thank you for your service 💖🙏👏
Good luck to the Duke of Kent❤
A lifetime of service from the Duke of Kent.
He served loyalty and deserves to retire. The Queen held him in great esteem. Funny how much he resembles Charles in a few years and a few Lbs less he will look like a twin brother. Edward is the best successor, he and Sophie are the favorite couple of the kingdom.
Thank you to the Duke of Kent for his long service despite his age and difficulty in walking.
His commitment to duty and service is amazing.
He is an honour to the Greatest Generation that ever lived
This is beautiful heartfelt magnificent blessings to you both and your family
Thank you sir for your long service ❤❤
Thank you Sir, Duke of Kent for your tireless unwavering dedication and service. May God Bless you 🇦🇺🙏🏽🇬🇧
Thank you to the Duke of Kent who has represented his country very well. And congratulations to Prince Edward, the new Duke.
Awww bless him all the years he's served to the commonwealth thank you sir
Thank you Prince Edward, The Duke of Kent for your hard work with the guard 💂♂️ all of these years!
💜🙏🏻💜
Duke of Kent thank you for your service 🇬🇧💜💂
The Duke of Kent, called "Steady Eddie" for his steadfast service to the late Queen, and now the King, will leave large shoes for Prince Edward to fill. I can think of no better example of duty and loyalty to the Crown and country than his life.
He's held the title of Duke of Kent for 82 years, inheriting it at the tender age of 6. What loyalty!
The Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh doesn't need to fill anyone's shoes as he is a higher-ranking royal and has his own legacy. He need only do a good job fulfilling his duties and representing them as is required and expected of him now that the role has passed on to him, but he's not assuming the DOK's position in the RF, just this role and maybe others. The Duke of Edinburgh has his own legacy.
@@Imperatrix-Matilda Now that's a tribute. Well done.
@@Faafo245 I was just speaking the truth. Lol.
@@Imperatrix-Matilda I meant no disrespect at all to Prince Edward, DOE, as he and his wife Sophie are favorites of mine as well, was just simply trying to make the point that the Duke of Kent has done an amazing job for well over 50 years, and the family could always rely on him.
“Steady Eddie”, the marvelous Duke of Kent…the true embodiment of loyal “service”.
Fun fact: The Duke of Kent is the last living major participant at King George VI’s funeral in 1952. He walked directly behind the casket at the age of 15. He was representing his dad, who had died in a plane crash in WWII
His dad passed in 1942 and it wasn't because of the war. He was representing himself because he had been the Duke of Kent the last 10 years.
@@Hopefully.2024 It's amazing what people believe. 🤣
@@Imperatrix-Matilda SHARON is such a bogan! She's putting Prince Edward down left right up and upside down and yet has no problem that none of the women have military experience either.
@@therealsophiemary 🤣
Yes, one tends to forget that he was there marching beside his uncles and Prince Philip.
What an amazing man! May God bless him for all his years of service. I hope this is a happy day for him. ❤
God bless you sir. You have been a loyal servant to Queen and Country. May you be blessed with a healthy retirement.
With quiet dignity, he’s a hero. All his life he supported the Queen in her role, he was honourable and very loyal to the Crown.
Now a frail old man, with mobility issues, he deserves all our respect for his Service. QE2 had a lot of time for him and could
always rely on him. I wish him well. Harry would do well to take a leaf out of his book.
Great Job Indeed, Duke, Many Blessings To Him And Many MORE, Now Rest Up From A Long Standing Job From The Heart, Love From USA.🇬🇧💯❤️👑
God Bless him here in So. Cal USA 🇺🇸 America loved the British royals! ❤️❤️
The Duke of Kent deserved such honourable farewell event as appreciation of his past years contributions, leadership & faithfulness to the royal family.
Hello@Betty

Thank you for your service. Another silent gem to the BRF and country. Glad he was honoured for his 50 yrs of service
For the Duke of Kent 👏👏 May God 🙏 bless this wonderful man with respect for his service and time of beauty. ❤
Thank you for your dedicated service Your Royal Highness. Proud to have served in the Scots Guards under you.
Congratulation on a job well done with dedication and dignity.
Prince Edward Duke of Kent is son of Prince George of Kent and first cousin of Queen Elizabeth II, Bless the Duke of Kent.
It's Prince Edward, Duke of Kent.
Actually, it's Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, KG, GCMG, GCVO, CD, ADC, but you're not here because you know what you're talking about are you. This is how you spend your days.@@Gray-d7h
@@Gray-d7h Yes make sure to have all your alts like your comments.. like no one knows what you're doing. You should be embarrassed that you are this obsessed with other people. Instead of enjoying the videos you spend your time making new accounts and looking for photos that look like theirs but not exactly. You've done it to me at least 4 times.
Actually he is the son of the former Duke of Kent - HRH The Prince George, Duke of Kent, not "Prince George of Kent" as that would make him his own son. The current DOK was born HRH Prince Edward of Kent as the son of The Duke of Kent.
@@Ker-mk3bf What are ALTS? Bots?
As a maid of kent very proud of our 'family '
This Maid of Kent agrees with you! 🙂❤👑🏴🇬🇧
A life fulfilled with dedication, honour and service to the crown and country. We bow to thee and thank you for your service. May you live long and prosperous. You deserve to relax and enjoy the rest of your life now.
Made me weep tears of pride in such a brave heart , his many many medals of honour weighing heavily on his jacket… i was born in Edinburgh, my maiden name was Kent, it is a deep deep honour and a blessing to have had this pure soul in this office for so long. I will miss him with a very heavy heart, we will not see his like again, but his post will be filled with honour by our Prince who will no doubt strive with every sinew to walk as closely in his footsteps with the greatest integrity, as possible for as long as possible. May God go with both of them , thankyou for your honourable service to the people, go with love and peace.
Very best wishes and thanks to the Duke of Kent for his dedication and service. 😁👌👌❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧
Thank you Duke of Ken for your service in the Scots Guard, Prince Edward will be a great leader you will be proud of him
The Duchess of Barbie is also thrilled.
@@Pinklady46B I almost choked.
@@Pinklady46B 🤣🤣🤣😭
Very fitting for the Duke of Edinburgh to be the Colonel of the Scots Guards 🇬🇧
A remarkable history. What an honor for The Duke of Kent and the fortune of the Scots Guard to have him in this leadership role for so long.
Unsung hero of the RF, God bless and may your retirement be as kind and wonderful as you have been❤
Duke of Kent will make the queen proud
He always has donenxx
Yes you're so right. I think he's served the Country wonderfully.
Queen Elizabeth.@@lsmith9249
@ChainNguyenc6xc our late Queen didn't express any pride in her cousins
for her they were doing their duty
