Über diesen Titel

In this detailed biographical study of Katharine, Duchess of Kent, Helen Cathcart tells an enchanting story of a Yorkshire soldier squire's daughter who grew up to become an admired and popular member of the Royal Family.

In this intimate and illuminating account, Cathcart charts the first forty years of the Duchess's life, from her birth during a snowstorm at the family home, Hovingham Hall, and wartime childhood through to schooldays at Castle Howard and early career working in a children's home.

We also learn of her first meeting with Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent, and of the affectionate friendship that matured into a royal romance.

In The Duchess of Kent we follow the Duchess from Hovingham Hall and Coppins to Hong Kong and Germany as an Army officer's wife. We discover the deep veins of community service in her family, and the author reveals the source of the Duchess of Kent's wide popularity.
