The death of Thomas Kingston, husband of Lady Gabriella Windsor, daughter of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, cousin of the late Queen Elizabeth II; has shocked the United Kingdom. As reported by Buckingham Palace, the financier died at the age of 45 last Sunday.
Little by little, more details are becoming known about the details and circumstances surrounding his death, such as the place and time in which the financier died, which has only added another layer of mystery to this dramatic event.
According to some British media, Kingston was found dead in a house in Gloucestershire, west of England; and the medical services received a call at six o’clock on Sunday afternoon from that residence, located specifically in the Cirencester area, where the police also attended, as confirmed by the Daily Mail.
This home belongs to Kingston’s parents, Martin and Jill. A country mansion that dates back to the 17th century, and where the financier went to visit his family, who has lived there for almost half a century. The residence is a protected building and is registered in the National Heritage Register.
The security forces have already confirmed that they have initiated an investigation to clarify the causes of the businessman’s death, although at no time are suspicious circumstances or other parties involved suspected, according to local media.
A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said King Charles III and Queen Camilla were “informed of Thomas’ death and join Prince Michael of Kent and all those who knew him in mourning a much-loved member of the family.” “In particular, the kings remembered their niece “and the entire Kingston family,” according to the palace source.
Gabriella Kingston and her husband’s parents, Martin and Jill Kingston, said in a statement that Thomas Kingston’s death has been a “great shock to the entire family.”
“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 illuminated the lives of all who knew him. His death has been a great shock to the entire family and we ask Please respect our privacy as we mourn his passing.”
A graduate of the University of Bristol, Kingston has always been involved in the political and financial sector, with his work for the release of hostages in Iraq being highly regarded after joining the diplomatic missions unit of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the United Kingdom.
Following these projects, he was director of Devonport Capital, a financial company specialized in supporting companies in emerging economies by providing them with access to financing and liquidity bridging solutions.
Lady Gabriella and Kingston – who worked in finance – were married at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle in May 2019. Lady Gabriella is a second cousin of King Charles III – the parents of the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Michael of Kent were brothers – and, at the time of his birth, he was 18th in line to the throne.
The financier was also a close friend of Prince William, heir to the British crown. However, his death was not the reason why the Prince of Wales did not attend the religious service last Tuesday in memory of the late Constantine II of Greece, which was held in St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle.
