Thomas Kingston, a British financier known for his ties to the royal family as the husband of Lady Gabriella and a former partner of Pippa Middleton, has passed away at the age of 45.
A statement released on Tuesday on behalf of Lady Gabriella Kingston, Martin and Jill Kingston, Joanna Connolly, and Emma Murray expressed profound sorrow at Thomas Kingston's death, describing him as a remarkable individual who brightened the lives of those around him. His sudden passing has deeply saddened the entire family, who have requested privacy as they mourn his loss.
King Charles and Queen Camilla were informed of Kingston's death, according to a spokesperson from the palace. They, along with Prince and Princess Michael of Kent and others who knew him, are mourning the loss of a beloved family member. Their Majesties have extended their heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Gabriella and the Kingston family during this difficult time.
Thomas Kingston passed away in Gloucestershire on Sunday, with emergency services responding to the scene shortly after 6 p.m. Authorities have confirmed that there are no suspicious circumstances or involvement of other parties in his death, although the exact cause remains undetermined.
Kingston, a director at Devonport Capital, held a bachelor's degree in economic history from Bristol University. His professional background also included work at Schroders and Voltan Capital, as detailed in his biography on Devonport Capital's website.
Kingston's death comes less than five years after his marriage to Lady Gabriella, which took place at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle on May 18, 2019. The wedding was attended by members of the royal family, including Queen Elizabeth and Prince Harry, who made a surprise appearance shortly after the birth of his son.
Prior to his marriage to Lady Gabriella, Kingston was known for his relationship with Pippa Middleton, the younger sister of Kate Middleton. Although their relationship ended around 2011, they remained on friendly terms, with Pippa and her husband attending Kingston and Lady Gabriella's wedding, and the couple attending Pippa's wedding in May 2017.
Lady Gabriella, who is 56th in line to the British throne, is not a working member of the royal family. She is a freelance journalist and a talented singer, having released two songs in 2020 to support the Playing For Change Foundation.
Thomas Kingston and Lady Gabriella were frequent attendees at royal events, including Wimbledon, Royal Ascot, and Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in 2022. They also attended Queen Elizabeth's funeral in Sept. 2022 and appeared in public with Queen Camilla at a Celebration of Shakespeare event less than two weeks before Kingston's passing.
