**Duchess of Kent, Former Royal Rebel with a Passion for Music, Dies at 92**
Buckingham Palace announced Friday the death of the Duchess of Kent at the age of 92. Remembered not only for her royal lineage, but also for her modern sensibilities, the Duchess famously broke royal protocol by hugging a Wimbledon runner-up. She further distinguished herself by stepping back from traditional family duties to pursue her passion, teaching music at a public school. Her commitment to music education and her willingness to challenge convention cemented her place as a beloved and unconventional figure within the Royal Family.
