She was the last to wear many of the grand Kent-jewels. At 92 she reached a very high age. I was impressed by her choice to quite Royal life to teach music. She showed that Royals do have options and can retreat from public life but still be valuable members of society. To me she will mostly be the Duchess who consoled Jana Novotna at Wimbledon. Such a natural and warm thing to do.
Sad,we will miss a glittering Duchess of the Past. Alas they sold such historical jewels , tiara. They made a tiara from the necklace , sad

Such sad news! The Duchess was such an elegant figure despite having to sell much of their inheritance from Princess Marina.

Princess Alexandra only got very little. Her mother felt that husbands should provide for their spouses, so the bulk of the jewels went to the two boys...
