Dame Judi Honors Father's Leinster Legacy

Dame Judi Dench has been named honorary patron of The Prince of Wales’s Leinster Regiment (Royal Canadians) Association — a heartfelt tribute to her father, Captain Reginald Arthur Dench, a decorated WWI soldier from Dublin who earned a Military Cross while serving in the Leinsters. Though the regiment disbanded in 1922, the association keeps its legacy alive by connecting descendants and honoring those who served. The announcement, made at their Commemorative Lunch, drew thunderous applause and a toast — Dame Judi called it “a connection beyond my imagination.” The chairman hailed it as a powerful symbol of enduring family bonds across generations.
