Members of the Royal family stand together as the coffin of the Duchess of Kent arrives at Westminster Cathedral in central London, ahead of her funeral
Senior members of the Royal Family, including King Charles III and the Prince and Princess of Wales, will gather for the funeral of the Duchess of Kent today.
The wife of the late Queen Elizabeth II's cousin will be laid to rest in a ceremony this afternoon, with Kensington Palace confirming in a statement that William and Kate would attend.
The Duchess' Catholic funeral - a requiem mass at Westminster Cathedral - is the first to be held for a member of the monarchy in modern British history.

King Charles III is also set to attend today's funeral, a Catholic service.
As the Supreme Governor of the Protestant Church of England, British monarchs do not typically attend Catholic events, and King Charles' appearance follows more than 30 years after the last one. Queen Elizabeth II attended the Catholic state funeral of King Baudouin of the Belgians, at St Michael's Cathedral in Brussels, in August 1993.
