Prince and Princess Michael of Kent attended a memorial service just over a day after their son-in-law, Thomas Kingston, was found dead at a home in Gloucestershire. Thomas, who was married to their daughter Lady Gabriella Windsor, was 45 years old. The police were notified by the ambulance service, but there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death.
In a statement, the Kingston family expressed their grief, saying, “It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Thomas Kingston, our beloved husband, son, and brother.” They requested privacy during this difficult time.
King Charles and Queen Camilla also expressed their condolences, stating, “The King and Queen have been told of Thomas’s death and join Prince and Princess Michael of Kent in their grief over the loss of a much-loved family member.”
Prince Andrew led the Royals at the service, as King Charles, who is battling cancer, had to leave before the ceremony began.
An inquest will be held to determine the cause of Thomas Kingston’s death.
