  Lady Helen Taylor shares emotional tribute to mother

Lady Helen Taylor has spoken publicly for the first time following the death of her mother, the Duchess of Kent, offering a heartfelt glimpse into her life and relationships.  

The only daughter of the late Katharine Worsley and the Duke of Kent, reflected on her close friendship with the late Italian fashion icon Giorgio Armani in British Vogue’s November issue.

Lady Helen, who served as Armani’s first-ever house ambassador for 17 years, revealed how the designer played a meaningful role in some of the most significant moments of her life, both personally and professionally.

Reflecting in British Vogue, she wrote, “It is to that day in Milan that my mind has returned of late, beginning in the early hours of 4th September, when I received news that Mr Armani had passed away, at 91 years old.  

Then, before the clock struck midnight that very same day, by some strange heavenly design: my beloved mother had joined him. She was 92 years old.“

The Duchess of Kent spent her later years at Wren House, Kensington Palace, and was last seen publicly in October 2024, making a brief appearance to celebrate her husband’s 89th birthday.  

She passed away at Kensington Palace on 5th September, surrounded by her family.  

Buckingham Palace shared the news the following day, stating: “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.”
