Lady Helen Taylor recently celebrated her 60th birthday in style with her closest family and friends in attendance. The birthday bash was a grand affair, with a large marquee set up to host the celebrations. Guests were treated to a long dining table adorned with flowers, foliage, and tealights, creating a magical ambiance for the event. Lady Helen’s niece, Lady Marina Windsor, offered a peek into the glamorous gathering by sharing snapshots on her Instagram account.
Lady Helen Taylor is the daughter of the Duke of Kent and shares four children with her husband, Timothy Taylor. Her children, Columbus, Cassius, Eloise, and Estella, are all following in their mother’s footsteps and are placed in the line of succession after her, with Lady Helen currently holding the 47th spot. Cassius, who studied art management at Goldsmiths University, runs his own events company and enjoys DJing in his free time. Columbus, on the other hand, works as an Associate Director at his father’s international gallery.
Close Family Ties
The Taylor children share a close bond with their cousins, Lady Marina, Lady Amelia, and Edward Windsor, who are the offspring of George Windsor, Earl of St Andrews, and Sylvana Tomaselli. Lady Helen also has a younger brother, Lord Nicholas Windsor, who gave up his right to the throne after converting to Catholicism in 2001. The attendance of Lady Helen’s parents, the Duke of Kent and Katharine, Duchess of Kent, at the birthday celebration remains undisclosed.
The Duke of Kent, Lady Helen’s father, is a first cousin of the late Queen Elizabeth II and continues to carry out official royal engagements. Lady Helen, born on 28 April 1964 in Iver, Buckinghamshire, belongs to a family deeply woven into the fabric of British royalty. She is not the only member of the royal family turning 60 this year – Princess Alexandra’s son, James Ogilvy, and Prince Edward also mark the milestone, with Lady Sarah Chatto following suit on 1 May.
Aside from her royal connections, Lady Helen is known for her philanthropic endeavors. She has worked as a patron of the CLIC Sargent children’s cancer charity and as a trustee of The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, showcasing her commitment to making a positive impact on society. Additionally, she sits on the advisory board of the prestigious Glyndebourne Festival Opera, further solidifying her place in the world of arts and culture. With a background as a former muse for Giorgio Armani and a history of collaborating with art dealer Karsten Schubert, Lady Helen Taylor’s influence extends far beyond the realm of British royalty.
