His Royal Highness Prince Edward The Duke of Kent KG GCMG GCVO ADC(P), first cousin to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, has devoted his life to the service of his country. Even before he served twenty-one years as a regular soldier in the British Army, he was introduced to this life of service by his widowed mother, HRH Princess Marina, The Duchess of Kent, during an extensive tour of the Far East at the time of his seventeenth birthday.
His interest in modern technology, especially computing and engineering, in issues of health, fitness and social welfare, and in the development of the intellect, has seen him become the patron, president or active member of more than one hundred charities and social organisations.
His military service, and deep interest in military history, sees him making a particularly important contribution to many military-related organisations – the chief of which must be the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
At the time of his eightieth birthday on October 9, 2015, Prince Edward remains one of the busiest members of the royal family. This book is offered as a tribute to his life of service, and to the myriad organisations, large and small, local, national and international, that make up the fabric of the United Kingdom in the twenty-first century.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A Duke of substance. By John H. Mather This "not run of the mill" biography of a living and very active in so many spheres of a very hard working member of the British Royal Family, the Queen's cousin no less, is a welcome respite from the biographies that so clearly set out to find all of the quirks and shortcomings of those having a high profile with the public at large. The biographical information is sufficient for the task and the ensuing Chapters delineate in equisite detail the various organizations, charities and many other interests of the Duke. I found it difficult to plough through it from the beginning to the end and found myself picking up on which Chapter of his life interested me at a particular time. It is difficult to imagine how all the pieces of the Duke's life fit together with so much going on yet clearly able to represent the monarchy to great effect. Over the years it has been my abiding image of him as the presenter of the trophies to the winners of the Wimbledon tennis tournament. He comes across as genuinely interested in the players and their experience of the tournament which is completely consistent with his support of so many worthy causes and institutions. Certainly he is not at the end of his expected life span and so the last word has not been written about his industrious supporter and, dare one say it, a caring gentleman.
