The Duke of Kent showed he’s still a regular part of the slimmed-down royals when he attended the annual royals’ parade Combined Cavalry Old Comrades Association on Sunday at the Cavalry Memorial in Hyde Park.
Wearing a dark gray pinstripe suit and black bowler hat, the 87-year-old looked in fine form as he joined thousands of participants in smart suits in the annual parade – the sun even came out for the occasion.
The event, which honors soldiers who have died in conflict since WWI, has a strict dress code – 1920s attire complete with bowler hat – as this is the decade when the parade started for the first time.
The Duke of Kent, cousin of the late Queen and elder brother of Prince Michael of Kent and Princess Alexandra, also wore a dozen medals on his lapel when he arrived at London’s parade on Sunday.
