You would not expect a 92-year-old royal to be rapping along to Eminem, but that’s exactly what the Duchess of Kent does.
It turns out Eminem has an unlikely Royal fan. Katharine, Duchess of Kent, now 92, revealed that she enjoys rapping along to Eminem and Ice Cube — even joking that if you ever spot someone “looking particularly dotty” on the M40, it is probably her trying to keep up with the lyrics, The Sun reminds.
Known for breaking tradition, Katharine was the first “commoner” to marry into the British royal family in over a century. But in 1996, she made an even more surprising move — renouncing her royal title to become a music teacher in Hull, where she worked for 13 years in complete anonymity.
Despite her classical music background, her taste is far from predictable. The Duchess has a deep love for hip hop and is not afraid to admit it. While her royal peers might not be blasting “Lose Yourself”, she proves that great music transcends generations — and class.
