Queen Camilla pulled out of attending the Duchess of Kent's funeral due to illness on Tuesday, as King Charles and other family members bade farewell to the British royal who died earlier this month.

Pope Leo XIV paid a personal tribute to the duchess, who converted to Catholicism in 1994, praising her “legacy of Christian goodness” in a message delivered during the funeral.

The requiem mass was the first Catholic funeral to be held for a member of the royal family in modern British history.

Buckingham Palace announced just hours before the ceremony and ahead of the arrival in the UK of US President Donald Trump on a state visit that the queen would not be attending.
