After Buckingham Palace announced the Duchess of Kent’s death to the public on Friday, Marina shared a message on her Instagram page, writing, “Rest in peace my amazing and beloved Amama, we will miss and love you so much always. And thank you to everyone who has sent such kind and touching messages, sending lots of love to all.”
Others were quick to comment on the post, including Flora Vesterberg, who wrote, “Love you! We’ll all miss her.” Meanwhile, Marina’s brother, Edward Windsor, Lord Downpatrick, commented a series of yellow and white hearts on the post. Alongside the moving tribute, Lady Marina also shared a handful of images of her grandmother, including a previously unseen photograph of the Duchess relaxing in a pair of dark jeans and a white shirt.
Lady Marina is thought to have been so close to her grandmother that she even chose to announce news of her own engagement on the anniversary of her wedding to Prince Edward.
Buckingham Palace shared news of Katharine’s death on Friday with a statement reading, “It is with deep sorrow that Buckingham Palace announces the death of Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Kent.
“Her Royal Highness passed away peacefully last night at Kensington Palace, surrounded by her family.”
