 | | The Duke of Kent married Katharine Worsley (born 22 February 1933) at York Minster on 8 June 1961. | | | Despite this, the Duke of Kent did not lose his place in the line of succession due to a loophole in the Act of Settlement 1701 in that The Duke married a fellow member of the Church of England in 1961, who only subsequently converted to Roman Catholicism. | | | The Duke retired from the Army in 1976 with the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. |
