British Royal Family Holds First Catholic Funeral in Centuries for Duchess of Kent

Pallbearers from the Royal Dragoon Guards carry Katharine the Duchess of Kent’s coffin, draped in the Royal Standard, into Westminster Cathedral for a Vigil for the Deceased with Rite of Reception and Vespers for the Dead ahead of her funeral on Sept. 15, 2025, in London.

King Charles’ presence marked the first time a reigning British monarch has attended a Catholic funeral in a formal capacity on U.K. grounds since the Reformation.
