The Duchess of Cambridge has paid a surprise visit to London's Imperial War Museum ahead of Armistice Day to see letters about three brothers of her great-grandmother, all of whom fought and died in the First World War.
All three sons of Kate's great-great-grandfather Francis Martineau Lupton were killed in action within two years of each other while serving during the conflict.
Kate viewed poignant letters relating to Maurice, who died in 1915 aged 28, Lionel, who died in 1916 aged 24, and Francis, who was killed in 1917 aged 31, at the IWM’s Documents Archive after undertaking a short tour of the First World War Galleries. Read more from The Daily Mail.
