A little more than a day after their son-in-law died, Prince and Princess Michael of Kent put on a brave face and went to a memorial.
Around 6 p.m. on Sunday, somebody found the body of Thomas Kingston at a house in Gloucestershire. He was married to their daughter Lady Gabriella Windsor.
This morning, more than a day after Lady Gabriella, 45, was found, her parents went to a Thanksgiving service in honor of Greece’s late King Constantine.
Sheikh Anne-Marie, who used to be Queen of Greece, and His Royal Highness Crown Prince Pavlos were at Windsor Castle with other members of the Greek Royal Family.
The wedding took place at St. George’s Chapel, the same place where Thomas and Lady Gabriella got married in 2019.
The King and Prince William were also supposed to go, but they both had to cancel.
There will be an inquest to find out what killed Thomas, but there are no suspicious circumstances and no one else involved.
A statement from his wife and family said, “It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Thomas Kingston, our beloved husband, son, and brother.”
“Tom was a wonderful person who made everyone around him proud.” Each member of his family was shocked by his death, and we ask that you give us space while we grieve.
There was also praise from King Charles and Queen Camilla.
“The King and Queen have been told of Thomas’s death and join Prince and Princess Michael of Kent and everyone who knew him in their grief over the loss of a much-loved family member,” they said.
“In particular, Their Majesties send their most heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Gabriella and to all the Kingston family.”
The Prince of Wales told the Greek Royal Family that he had to miss the service because of a personal matter.
Another important person is King Charles, who is 75 years old. He was at Windsor this morning but left before the ceremony started because he is still fighting bravely with cancer after getting the shocking news.
In its place, Prince Andrew led the Royals who were there.
Andrew was seen beaming as he led the way to the service, which was one of the few times he was seen in public.
There was a death in Gloucestershire and the ambulance service called the police. Thomas Kingston was married to Lady Gabriella Kingston, daughter of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent.
The police said, “At 6:25 p.m. on Sunday, the ambulance service called us to say that a 45-year-old man had died at a home in the Cotswolds.”
“The death is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner.”
Lady Gabriella Windsor is Thomas’s wife. She is the daughter of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent.
Through their fathers, the late Queen and Prince Michael were first cousins.
