Late Duchess of Kent leaves multi-million-pound fortune to family

The late Katharine, Duchess of Kent, left the majority of her £1.43 million estate to her three children, alongside gifts for her charity and godchildren. Details of the will of the late Duchess of Kent have been released, following her death aged 92.

The probate filings also confirm how much her UK estate – valued at £1,433,696 – will be inherited.
