The Royal Family are set to unite today at Katharine, Duchess of Kent's funeral. The Duchess, who died aged 92 on September 4, will be remembered fondly on Tuesday during her funeral, which is set to take place at Westminster Cathedral at 2pm.

King Charles and Queen Camilla, along with other members of the Royal Family, will be in attendance, alongside the Duke of Kent and members of the Duchess' immediate family. After the service, the coffin will be taken by hearse to the Royal Burial Ground at Frogmore, Windsor - the Duchess' final resting place.

The Royal Burial Ground has been a resting place for members of the Royal Family since the consecration of the ground in 1928, and is a short distance from Windsor Castle.

It is also not far from Frogmore House and Frogmore Cottage - the previous home of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

As it is a private cemetery, which is 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.

She will not be the first royal to be buried at the site, with The Duke of Windsor (formerly Edward VIII) among those buried there.

The Duchess of Windsor, Wallis Simpson, was also buried at the site.
