The funeral of Thomas Kingston, the husband of Lady Gabriella Kingston, took place on Tuesday at the Royal Chapel in St James’s Palace in London. Prince Charles joined 140 friends and family members, including Lady Gabriella’s parents Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, to mourn the loss of Mr. Kingston. The service was private.
Mr. Kingston was found dead aged 45 on February 25th at his parents’ home in the Cotswolds. Despite the presence of a gun near his body, his death was not believed to be suspicious. An inquest later confirmed that he died from a “traumatic head wound.”
