King Charles<\/a> and Queen Camilla<\/a> have made their first appearance since the death of the Duchess of Kent<\/a>. The late duchess was a member of their extended family, as she was the wife of the late Queen’s<\/a> cousin, the Duke of Kent<\/a>. As she had stepped away from her royal duties, a mourning period was not called, however, the monarch still chose to pay respects to his late relative by wearing an all-black outfit as he and his wife attended the annual Braemar Games<\/strong>, which are held at the Princess Royal and Duke of Fife Memorial Park, near Aberdeenshire.<\/p>\n

The Duchess of Kent’s\u00a0<\/strong>funeral is due to be held on Tuesday 16 September<\/a> at Westminster Abbey. Her coffin currently lies at Kensington Palace, where she passed away. She will be transferred to the Abbey on Monday night, where she will lie overnight in the Lady Chapel. Charles and Camilla will be at the funeral with the Duke of Kent and other members of the Duchess’s family.<\/p>\n

Camilla looked radiant at the event as she wore a striking blue dress with a tartan undercoat. She finished her look off with a green beret that had a feather in the cap. The royals were joined by actress Dame Joanna Lumley<\/a>, who wore a black dress with a necklace and brown cap and Baroness Helena Kennedy, who looked stylish in her black and white outfit.
