CWN Editor's Note: The Duchess of Kent, the first member of Britain’s royal family to convert to Catholicism in over 300 years, died on September 4 at the age of 92.

Born Katharine Worsley, the Duchess had lived quietly for years, teaching music to local schoolchildren. She had rarely acted in a royal capacity, except to award trophies at the annual Wimbledon tennis championships.
