We are delighted to share that Royalty magazine has featured Rory Lewis’s portrait of His Royal Highness, The Duke of Kent, in their latest issue. This editorial shines a light on the Duke’s remarkable life of service and dedication, ensuring his story reaches a wide audience.

As one of the most senior members of the Royal Family, the Duke’s legacy is defined by his long-standing military career and decades of public duty. Through this feature, readers are given a unique opportunity to reflect on his contributions—not only as a royal, but as a Field Marshal whose service embodies discipline, loyalty, and leadership.

The portrait, captured by Rory Lewis in 2018, stands as both a personal honour and a testament to the mission of the Heroes in Focus Foundation: to preserve the stories of those who serve. By placing such portraits within cultural and historical contexts, we aim to educate and inspire future generations, highlighting the values that underpin public service.

We are proud that this collaboration with Royalty magazine helps bring the Duke of Kent’s story to life, celebrating his enduring role in the British Armed Forces and the wider legacy of service he represents.
