The Duke of Kent’s daughter makes rare appearance with her dashing sons

Lady Helen Taylor enjoyed an artsy date with her boys. The Duke of Kent’s daughter attended the Frieze Art Fair 2026 VIP Preview on Wednesday, October 14, with her two sons, Columbus Taylor, 32, and Cassius Taylor, 29.

The trio posed together for photos at the preview. Lady Helen was all smiles as she stood between her boys at Regent’s Park, dressed in a black ensemble accessorized with a black-and-white checkered scarf. 

Columbus wore a white collared shirt and blazer, while his younger brother Cassius sported a trench coat. Helen shares her sons with her art dealer husband Timothy Verner Taylor, whom she’s been married to since 1992.

Columbus is the eldest of the couple’s four children. In addition to their sons, Helen and Timothy share two daughters: Eloise Taylor and Estella Taylor.

Cassius has attended the Frieze Art Fair VIP Preview with his mother in the past. Helen, the daughter of Queen Elizabeth’s first cousin the Duke of Kent and his late wife the Duchess of Kent, was joined by her second son at the event last year, as well as in 2023 and 2015. Over the years, the Frieze Art Fair has attracted other members of the British royal family, including King Charles‘ nieces Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.

During Frieze Week in 2022, Cassius curated the “Armen Eloyan: When it’s good it’s great” exhibition.

At the time, the Duke of Kent’s grandson wrote: “Two years ago, I asked Armen to create a tattoo during a period in my life when I most felt the English spirit of ‘When it’s good, it’s great’, and therefore ‘When it’s bad, it’s shit.’ This pop-up is intended as a homage to Armen’s expressionist style, which reflects the energy and dynamism of the ever-changing cultural landscape I’ve grown up in.

“In a world full of uncertainty and anxiety, his work offers a wry, subversive humour that feels perfectly attuned to my generation.”

Earlier this year, Cassius was crowned HELLO!’s most eligible royal of 2026. In an exclusive interview, the Duke of Kent’s grandson, who is a DJ and freelance events consultant, spoke about his close-knit family, telling HELLO!: “I’m very lucky to be part of a very tight family. My parents and siblings are amazing.”

And when asked what he hoped to achieve this year, Cassius shared: “Meet great people, throw great parties, stay healthy. I love meeting people – even having everyone here today.”
