Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, was among the royal family members who attended the Order of the Garter service at Windsor Castle.
The 89-year-old cousin of the late Queen Elizabeth appeared visibly frail, sparking concern among royal watchers.
His presence served as a quiet yet powerful testament to duty and resilience.
Dressed in full regalia, the Duke was photographed seated in a royal car, looking solemn but determined.
Despite signs of physical fragility, he once again proved that age and declining health have not dampened his unwavering commitment to the crown.
The Duke has dedicated over eight decades to public service, and his appearance at one of the most historic chivalric ceremonies in Britain only reinforces his enduring sense of obligation.
His participation stood in stark contrast to the absence of several younger royals from the ceremonial event.
It underscored how the older generation, particularly the Duke of Kent, continues to shoulder traditional responsibilities even as the monarchy modernizes and adapts.
