The Kingston family is reeling from the devastating news of the sudden passing of Thomas Kingston, the beloved husband of Lady Gabriela.
The shocking revelation has left Lady Gabriela in a state of profound grief, with the weight of the news causing her to faint upon hearing it.
A spokesperson for the family issued a statement expressing their deep sorrow over the unexpected loss of Thomas, who was described as an extraordinary individual bringing joy to all around him.
The family has requested privacy as they navigate through this heartbreaking time.
The news of Thomas Kingston’s untimely demise has also reached the royal family, including King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, and others close to him.
The loss of their cherished family member has left them grief-stricken, extending their heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Lady Gabriela and the entire Kingston family during this difficult period.
Emergency services responded to the scene in Gloucestershire where the tragic incident took place in the early evening.
While the cause of death remains unknown, there are no suspicions of foul play or involvement of any other parties.
Thomas Kingston had a successful career as a director at Devonport Capital, with previous stints at Schroeders and Voltan Capital.
He held a bachelor’s degree in economic history from Bristol University.
Less than five years before his passing, Thomas had tied the knot with Lady Gabriela, the daughter of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent.
Their engagement was announced in September 2018, culminating in a wedding ceremony on May 18, 2019, at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle.
The nuptials were a celebration of family traditions, with Lady Gabriela donning a diamond tiara in the Russian fringe style, previously worn by her grandmother and mother on their own wedding days.
The guest list included members of the royal family such as Queen Elizabeth and Prince Harry.
Before his marriage to Lady Gabriela, Thomas Kingston had been in a relationship with Pippa Middleton, the younger sister of Kate Middleton.
Despite their breakup in 2011, Thomas and Pippa remained friends over the years, even attending each other’s weddings.
On the day of Thomas Kingston’s passing, Lady Gabriela’s parents attended a service of Thanksgiving at St George’s Chapel, honoring King Constantine of Greece, who was Lady Gabriela’s godfather.
Prince William, another godchild of King Constantine, was unable to attend the service, with no connection to Thomas’s sudden demise.
Lady Gabriela, who holds the 56th position in the line of succession to the British throne, is not an active member of the royal family.
