Ashgate Hospice > Remembering Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Kent

We are deeply saddened to learn of the death of Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Kent.

The Duchess holds a very special place in our history, having officially opened Ashgate Hospice in 1989.

This marked a significant moment for our community, as the former hospital was transformed into a hospice thanks to a fundraising appeal launched in 1985.

We will always be grateful for her support, and our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with her family at this time.
