The husband of Lady Gabriella Windsor, Thomas Kingston has passed away at the age of 45, as confirmed by Buckingham Palace.
Lady Gabriella, the offspring of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, honoured the financier, whom she married in 2019, by describing him as an extraordinary individual who brought joy to everyone around him. She expressed that his sudden death has deeply affected the entire family.
A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: “The King and The Queen have been informed of Thomas’s death and join Prince and Princess Michael of Kent and all those who knew him in grieving a much-loved member of the family. In particular, Their Majesties send their most heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Gabriella and to all the Kingston family.”
Mr. Kingston, a devout Christian who previously served as a hostage negotiator in Baghdad, was discovered deceased at a residence in Gloucestershire on Sunday evening. The authorities were alerted and emergency services promptly arrived at the location shortly after 6pm.
A police spokesman said: “The death is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner.”
A statement issued on behalf of Lady Gabriella, Mr Kingston’s parents Martin and Jill Kingston, and his sisters, Joanna Connolly and Emma Murray, at 6pm Tuesday said: “It is with the deepest sorrow that we announce the death of Thomas Kingston, our beloved husband, son and brother. Tom was an exceptional man who lit up the lives of all who knew him. His death has come as a great shock to the whole family and we ask you to respect our privacy as we mourn his passing.”
