Gabriella, the daughter of the Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, is a second cousin of King Charles III. She is also a cousin of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
A statement on behalf of Charles, 75, and wife Queen Camilla expressed their condolences on the death of Thomas, a much-loved member of the family. The King and The Queen, along with Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, join in grieving and send heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Gabriella and the entire Kingston family.
Thomas, who was previously in a relationship with Pippa Middleton, the sister of Princess Kate Middleton, got engaged to Gabriella in August 2018 on the Isle of Sark, situated in the English Channel off the coast of Normandy, France. They tied the knot one year later in May 2019 at St George’s Chapel in Windsor.
Gabriella donned a custom-made dress by Italian designer Luisa Beccaria for their wedding ceremony.
Beccaria praised the bride as a modern and elegant woman who is also intelligent and hardworking. When designing her wedding gown, they aimed for a balance of tradition and spontaneity, with a slim front to showcase her figure.
The historic St George’s Chapel, where the wedding took place, had previously been the venue for the weddings of Gabriella’s cousins Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie to Meghan Markle and Jack Brooksbank in the same year.
