Hello Royal Clubbers, it's Millie here bringing you The Royal Dispatch, back in its usual format as the royals have been out and about once again after enjoying what was hopefully a restful August.

This week, we had the sad news that the Duchess of Kent passed away on Thursday night at 92 years old.

Buckingham Palace said in a 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.”

I hope you’ll join me in sending condolences and thoughts to the royal family. But before we dive into the best royal pictures and the diary, let's take a little look back at some royal history.
