Celebrating HRH The Duke of Kent at 90

The 9th October 2025 marked the 90th birthday of His Royal Highness The Duke of Kent, an extraordinary milestone in the life of a distinguished public figure whose dedication to international understanding has been formidable. The Dresden Trust extended its congratulations and best wishes to its Royal Patron on this special occasion.

Throughout his life, The Duke of Kent has supported over 140 charities and organisations, encompassing a wide range of issues from war commemoration to social care. His efforts have made a lasting impact on countless individuals and communities across the United Kingdom, Germany and beyond.

 As Royal Patron of The Dresden Trust for over 30 years, The Duke has played a vital role in the Trust’s mission of fostering reconciliation between the United Kingdom and Germany following the bombing of Dresden in 1945. In recognition of his enduring contribution to peace and international understanding, he was awarded the Dresden Peace Prize in 2015.   

 The Dresden Trust is profoundly grateful for The Duke of Kent’s continued patronage. He continues to inspire those working towards a more peaceful and cooperative world.
