No mention of the Worsley family,but it would be surprising if there were not some present.
The other thing that struck me is the frailty of the 1st Duke of Kent’s children,so how much longer they will be with us is open to question.
The photographers and other standing outside would have no idea who the Duchess of Kent’s relatives are . No guest list was released. No one noticed if any of the Dukes maternal relatives were there, but his first cousins are also elderly.
Does that mean that they maternal relatives - the Toerring-Jettenbachs and the Yugoslavias - might have sent younger relatives or wreaths with notes?
Sir William was present
Shinjinee they are the duke's relatives, and it was a private funeral with no information provided to the media. No one spotted foreign royals - Archduchess Sophie (Princess of Windisch Graetz) is easy to identify (she did attend Flora's wedding). It is not about being sent - it was invitation only.
