“Prince Edward Duke of Kent is the Queen's first cousin. He is the Queen's eldest living paternal cousin, though he is 9 years younger than the Queen herself. The Duke of Kent has performed royal duties on behalf of his cousin, the Queen, for over 50 years. The Duke has represented the Queen during independence celebrations in the former British colonies of Sierra Leone, Uganda, Guyana, Gambia and most recently Ghana for their (Ghana's) 50th Independence Anniversary Celebration. He has also acted as Counsellor of State during periods of the Queen's absence abroad.”
