Lady Gabriella Windsor's husband found dead: what is known about Thomas Kingston and why the tragedy came as a shock to the royal family

Lady Gabriella Windsor, daughter of the late Queen Elizabeth II's cousin, Prince Michael of Kent, has lost her husband. Thomas Kingston, a 45-year-old financier, was found dead in his home on Sunday, February 25, but it was reported only the day before. The news immediately became one of the most discussed in the British media.

The police are investigating the circumstances of the death, but have not found anything suspicious so far, the Daily Mail reports. In a statement, Buckingham Palace said that the death of Gabriella Windsor's young husband came as a shock to the entire family.

"It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Thomas Kingston, our beloved husband, son and brother. Tom was an exceptional man who brought light to the lives of all who knew him. His death has come as a great shock to the entire family, and we ask that you respect our privacy as we mourn his passing," Lady Gabriella Windsor and the family of the late financier addressed the public.

Kingston married the daughter of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent in 2019, and they were happily married for five years until the Briton was found dead in Gloucestershire. Emergency services arrived at the scene shortly after 18:00.

Preliminary reports indicate that there were no signs of foul play or suspicious circumstances, but the investigation is still ongoing.

The media also discusses how calmly Prince and Princess Michael of Kent reacted to the news of their son-in-law's death. On Tuesday, shortly before the official announcement of the tragedy in their daughter's family, they were spotted in the second row at St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle.

As a reminder, Lady Gabriella Windsor and Thomas Kingston started dating 10 years ago, and the financier proposed to his chosen one in 2018 during a trip to Sark Island. Their wedding was attended by Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, Kate Middleton, Prince Harry and other members of the royal family.

The ceremony took place at St. George's Cathedral in Windsor Castle. Lady Gabriella wore four impressive outfits, communicated very warmly with the guests and admitted that the wedding was one of the best days of her life.

It should be added that, although Thomas Kingston was not of royal blood, he spent his entire life communicating with people who were close to the Windsors. According to Hello!, Thomas was suspected of having a relationship with Natalie Hicks-Lobbeck, one of Prince William's ex-girlfriends, and there was also talk of his affair with Princess Kate's sister, Pippa Middleton.
