Duke of Kent Hands Over MAJOR Role to Prince Edward
This was the incredible farewell the Duke of Kent received as he made his final visit as Colonel of the Scots Guards today.
Edward, Queen Elizabeth II’s cousin, held the title for a remarkable 50 years, making him the longest-serving person in the role.
He officially stepped down after attending his final Scots Guards Black Sunday parade in Westminster.
The 88-year-old will be replaced as the head of the regiment by the Duke of Edinburgh.
The Duke of Kent said he was “delighted” that Prince Edward will continue to “champion all that you do and work towards preserving your great legacy”.

Looks half dead
Why was this not front page news in the UK. Shocking. This man deserved to be honoured by the general public.
Congratulations to the Duke of Edinburgh, maybe the Duke of Kent can now sit back and rest god he deserves it. ❤👑
Congratulations Duke of Kent, what an amazing achievement! And congratulations to the Duke of Edinburgh, carry on.
❤❤ thank you ❤❤
Steadfast! Loyal! Honest!
🥰🥰🥰 Much respect, what a beautiful ceremony, he deserves it 👏 Bravo and thank you for your amazing work!!! 🎉🎉🎉💐💐💐
God bless!
Edward is a worthy successor indeed,But what a situation the family has come to..without more male prince's to hand over patronage to …Poor Edward will have to pin on even more medals!..on a extra body suit..😅
A masonry leader, that’s really bad. Queen Elizabeth II was a great leader. This cousin is worse than US presidents and secretary of states. I hope someday people knows who did 9/11, 7/7 or 11-M
I hope he can rest.
God Bless him here in So. Cal USA 🇺🇸 America loved the British royals! ❤️❤️
His dedication to service and duty to Monarchy & his country is appreciated , hope you enjoy a well deserved happy retirement, Thank you Duke of Edinburgh I’m sure will do a wonderful job ❤️❤️
The Duke of Kent, called "Steady Eddie" for his steadfast service to the late Queen, and now the King, will leave large shoes for Prince Edward to fill. I can think of no better example of duty and loyalty to the Crown and country than his life.
HRH Prince Edward, The Duke of Kent has and still is an unsung hero of Our Monarchy and was a great support to Our Dear Late Queen Elizabeth during her Reign…… THANK YOU SIR 🇬🇧🇬🇧
God Bless him.
Good luck Sir
God bless you sir. You have been a loyal servant to Queen and Country. May you be blessed with a healthy retirement.
God bless you Sir, for your years of service to the country and being such a good example to others. When you were on the balcony with QEII there was no one who was a better representative. I wish you well. We can all still learn a lot from you. Thank you for your service.
He and Charles look so much alike. God speed your highness.
Last of the old skool. I salute him
The “musical” background you chose for this is appalling, in bad taste and does not relate to the subject! Think next time!
This is amazing. I am so proud.😃😃😃😃😃 A huge kiss on the cheek to the Duke of Kent and the Duke of Edinburgh. HLMQEII and Prince Philip would have been so proud. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
How splendid . HRH The Prince Edward , Duke of Kent handing over . The Duke has quietly served the Crown and Country with the utmost loyalty and – dignity over many decades . I am certain that The Prince Edward , now Duke of Edinburgh , will follow on and fill those huge “shoes” .
Grand master of the masons, need I say anymore 🤮
