During the annual Together At Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey in London, the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, reached out to Lady Gabriella Kingston, who tragically lost her husband earlier this year. As a gesture of support and compassion, Kate asked Lady Gabriella to assist in planning the service. Lady Gabriella, a talented singer, was also given the responsibility of selecting the musical performances for the event.
On December 6, Lady Gabriella was seen arriving at the venue surrounded by the Middleton family. A close friend of hers shared with The Telegraph that she was deeply moved and grateful to be asked by the princess to contribute to such a special concert. Lady Gabriella was honored to have an advisory role at the service, alongside the Middleton family and even Prince William himself.
The sudden and untimely death of Lady Gabriella's husband, Thomas Kingston, was a heartbreaking event for all who knew him. The coroner's report revealed that he passed away from a head injury at his parents' home in the Cotswolds. In memory of her husband, Lady Gabriella personally invited singer Gregory Porter and pianist Rosey Chan to perform at the festive concert. This service marked Kate's return to royal duties after completing her chemotherapy treatment.
In her heartfelt introduction video, the princess spoke about the importance of shining for one another, especially during the holiday season. She reminded everyone that in times of both joy and sadness, we are each other's light. Lady Gabriella, also known as Ella Windsor, is the only daughter of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, who is the first cousin of the late Queen Elizabeth. Ella grew up in Kensington Palace and went on to study comparative literature and Hispanic studies at Brown University in Rhode Island.
Aside from being a member of the royal family, Lady Gabriella is also a talented writer, with her work appearing in publications such as The London Magazine. She is also a singer and songwriter, releasing two songs in 2020 for the Playing For Change Foundation, a non-profit organization that uses music to promote positive change. In 2018, Buckingham Palace announced Lady Gabriella's engagement to Thomas Kingston, a director at the private equity firm Devonport Capital. Before that, Thomas worked in the Foreign Office, where he even traveled to Iraq to help with the release of hostages.
The couple tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, and their love story captured the hearts of many. The news of Thomas's sudden passing was a great shock to Lady Gabriella, and the palace released a joint statement on their behalf. Despite the tragedy, Lady Gabriella continues to honor her husband's memory and use her talents to bring joy and positivity to others.
