Lady Gabriella Windsor and Thomas Kingston 'were happy couple': Michael Cole speaks on 'absolute tragedy'

A royal correspondent has labelled Thomas Kingston's death an "absolute tragedy" after news broke that he has passed away at the age of 45.

His widow Lady Gabriella paid tribute to her financier husband on Tuesday night, describing him as an “exceptional man who lit up the lives of all who knew him”.

Michael Cole told GB News: "She's an utterly charming girl, taking on the role of Hostess for her father and putting everyone at ease and making everybody welcome.

They seemed to be an extremely happy couple, last seen out on Saint Valentine's night and only married for, not quite five years."
