Duke of Kent, 88, ‘reluctantly’ stays home from Remembrance Day service after ‘episodic mobility issues’

THE Duke of Kent “reluctantly” stayed at home away from Remembrance Day service after “episodic mobility issues”.

The 88-year-old, a cousin of King Charles, has sparked a fresh health scare after failing to show at the Cenotaph this morning.

Sources say Prince Edward had no choice but to decide not to attend the Sunday service.

He was also forced to pull out of last night’s Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall.

But sources say it was always planned that his equerry, Captain George Hopkins, Scots Guards, would place a wreath at the cenotaph this morning.
