Thomas Kingston, Lady Gabriella Windsor’s husband and Pippa Middleton‘s ex-boyfriend, has passed away. He was 45.

Kingston died in Gloucestershire on Sunday, with emergency services called to the scene shortly after 6 p.m. His cause of death is still undetermined.

While inquest will be done to find the cause, there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the incident.

Gabriella, 42, is the daughter of the Prince of Kent, the late Queen Elizabeth’s first cousin.

“It is with the deepest sorrow that we announce the death of Thomas Kingston, our beloved husband, son and brother,” a statement said on behalf of Gabriella, Mr Martin and Mrs Jill Kingston, Mrs Joanna Connolly and Mrs Emma Murray.

“Tom was an exceptional man who lit up the lives of all who knew him. His death has come as a great shock to the whole family and we ask you to respect our privacy as we mourn his passing.”

King Charles and Queen Camilla also were informed of Kingston’s death, with Buckingham Palace noting that the monarchs “join Prince and Princess Michael of Kent and all those who knew him in grieving a much-loved member of the family.”

“In particular, Their Majesties send their most heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Gabriella and to all the Kingston family,” the Palace said.

The financier and the editor tied the knot in 2019 at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle. The couple shared no children together.

Queen Elizabeth and the late Prince Philip both attended the special day.

The socialite is the second cousin to Charles, 75, and was present at his coronation last May.

In 2011, Kingston and Kate Middleton’s younger sister Pippa dated for a period.

Pippa, 40, is now married to husband James Matthews, and she stayed pals with Kingston.

When Pippa got married in 2017 to the hedge fund manager, 48, Kingston attended the celebration.

Matthew and the mother of three then were guests at Gabriella and Kingston’s own wedding.

Gabriella is currently 56th in the line of succession to the British throne and has often been seen at royal family events over the years with her late spouse.

The London Magazine contributor and the equity analyst were present at the Queen’s 2022 Platinum Jubilee, as well as her funeral that same year and the Royal Ascot.
