The Duke of Kent, the oldest working member of the royal family, was last seen at the Duchess of Kent’s funeral in September.

Earlier this year, the Duke’s daughter, Lady Helen Taylor, revealed that he is ‘slowing down’ as his health begins to fail. ‘I don’t want him to. I mean, he sort of is naturally, because his body won’t let him go at the speed that he would like to,’ she told True Royalty TV, ‘but I don’t want him to retire because what will he do?’ Lady Helen then added that the Duke of Kent likes to be constantly busy and is always seeking new sources of inspiration. His dedication to the Scouts has been a constant for the Duke throughout the past 50 years, however. He serves as the Joint President of the organisation alongside Catherine, the Princess of Wales, and earlier this year followed in Kate’s footsteps by meeting with Chief Scout Dwayne Fields to congratulate some highly accomplished scouts.
