Buckingham Palace has announced the tragic death of Thomas Kingston, husband of Lady Gabriella Kingston and son-in-law of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent. The 45-year-old was found dead at an address in Gloucestershire, with no suspicious circumstances or involvement of anyone else reported. King Charles and Queen Camilla expressed their heartfelt thoughts and prayers for Mr. Kingston’s family.

A statement from Lady Gabriella and his family described Mr. Kingston as an exceptional man who lit up the lives of all who knew him. The sudden death was a great shock to the whole family, and an inquest will be held to investigate further.

Lady Gabriella, the daughter of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, married Mr. Kingston in 2019 at Windsor Castle’s St George’s Chapel, in a ceremony attended by prominent figures including Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, and Prince Harry. The Buckingham Palace spokesman conveyed the royal family’s grief for the loss of a much-loved member and the support extended to those who knew Mr. Kingston.

Mr. Kingston, a financier by profession, had married into the royal family and his untimely passing has deeply affected his loved ones. The news of his death led to Prince William withdrawing from a memorial service for the late former King Constantine of Greece at St George’s Chapel, citing a personal matter unrelated to Mr. Kingston’s demise.
