The Worshipful Master and brethren of the lodge extend their loyal greetings and best wishes to The Grand Master, HRH The Duke of Kent, on the occasion of his birthday. Many happy returns, Sir!

We'll save you the read. No evidence and no proof. But we always welcome the opportunity to demonstrate our openness and transparency. #Freemasons

Buckingham Palace has released the following statement : "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. The King and Queen and all Members of The Royal Family join The Duke of Kent, his children and grandchildren in mourning their loss and remembering fondly The Duchess's life-long devotion to all the organisations with which she was associated, her passion for music and her empathy for young people." We are sure that Brethren and Companions will wish to extend their heartfelt condolences to the Grand Master, His Royal Highness The Duke of Kent, during this difficult time. #Freemasons @RoyalFamily
