The Kensington Palace continued writing, "She will be a much-missed member of the family, W&C." 

William and Kate released the emotional message after Buckingham Palace confirmed the death of the late Duchess earlier this afternoon.

According to King Charles’ post, the oldest member of the Royal Family passed away at the age of 91 on Thursday, September 4, at Kensington Palace, surrounded by her family.

"It is with deep sorrow that Buckingham Palace announces the death of Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Kent. Her Royal Highness passed away peacefully last night at Kensington Palace, surrounded by her family," they announced.

The deceased Duchess of Kent, Katharine, became a prominent part of the Royal Family when she married Prince Edward, the late Queen Elizabeth II’s cousin, in 1961. 

She is survived by her husband, the Duke of Kent, aged 89, and their two sons, George, Nicholas and their only daughter, Helen.
