Hardly known royal makes ultra rare appearance at Duchess of Kent's funeral

Members of the Royal Family were out in force to attend the funeral of the Duchess of Kent at Westminster Cathedral in London on Tuesday afternoon. While the King and the Prince and Princess of Wales were very visible, there were a number of extended members of the family present who were not quite as recognisable.

Among those in attendance who would likely make the list is Christian Mowatt, the son of Marina Ogilvy and grandson of Princess Alexandra. Christian is almost never seen at public Royal Family events, but was pictured arriving for the Duchess's service today.

Very little is known about Christian, however, he is the brother of Zenouska Mowatt, who is often a favourite among royal fans.

Christian is the youngest child and only son of Marina Ogilvy and photographer Paul Julian Mowatt and was born on June 4, 1993. He is currently 63rd in line to the throne, behind his mother and ahead of his sister.

He could be seen arriving at the service with his sister and behind his cousin, Flora Vesterberg and her husband, Timothy Vesterberg.

As well as being the grandson of Princess Alexandra and the late Angus Ogilvy, he is the great-grandson of Prince George, Duke of Kent and Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark, Duchess of Kent.

Christian has made very few public appearances with members of the Royal Family and was last pictured attending Queen Elizabeth II's funeral in 2022.

Following Tuesday's service, the Duchess's coffin will travel by hearse to the Royal Burial Ground in Windsor.

The Royal Burial Ground has been a final resting place for members of the Royal Family since the consecration of the ground in 1928. It is a short distance from Windsor Castle, with the last burial taking place 20 years ago following the death of Angus Ogilvy.

As it is a private cemetery just south of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert's Mausoleum, family members of the Duchess will be able to visit her resting place in peace.
