Prince Harry is not expected to attend the funeral of the late Katharine, Duchess of Kent.
Though the Duke of Sussex was in the U.K. and Ukraine last week for a series of charitable engagements, he is not expected to attend the Duchess of Kent’s funeral this week in England.
Katharine was married to Queen Elizabeth’s cousin Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent, and on Sept. 5, Buckingham Palace announced her death at age 92.
The palace later announced that her Catholic funeral service will take place at Westminster Cathedral in London on Tuesday, Sept. 16, but Prince Harry probably won’t be there as his wife, Meghan Markle, said he’s back home.
