Thomas Kingston: Private funeral held for Lady Gabriella's husband
The Prince of Wales, the Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, the Duke of Kent and Princess Alexandra were among those present, alongside Lady Gabriella and Mr Kingston's family.news.sky.com
We really only knew William was there because of who he is, unless the guests themselves told the press who was there I do not think we will be told. It is usually when the press watch the comings and goings at these events that we know who attended other than the main players. As it was private the press were not there.I thought perhaps Pippa would be there, since apparently she and Thomas remained friends. But there's been no mention of her.
It had already been on the market, so she probably won't stay there again.Will Lady Gabriella stay in their home ? I read is was to rent ?
Probably not ready to make decisions.It had already been on the market, so she probably won't stay there again.
Poor girl, I really feel for her and for her and Thomas's loved ones.Probably not ready to make decisions.
I am so sorry for your loss, shady lady!Poor girl, I really feel for her and for her and Thomas's loved ones.
From my own experience, (I've been a widow for five years now) it's very early days to be making big decisions. Right now it's just about living from day to day and dealing with a whole range of emotions and issues that are overwhelming to say the least. I'm sure she is getting loads of love and support and I hope she is looking after herself. She needs time to come to terms with what has happened and shouldn't rush into doing anything.
Thank you!I am so sorry for your loss, shady lady!

I also love the sentiments expressed in your comment.
That may not be a bad thing. She could probably do with having the love and care of her parents, as well as the physical separation from the marital home to come to terms with what has happened.Several news sources have said that Gabriella has moved back into her parents' home at Kensington Palace.
Probably for the best, since the press can't confront her there.
I agree that for now this might be the best place for Lady Gabriella to be. She can be assured of privacy and will be in familiar surroundings having lived at KP for many years.That may not be a bad thing. She could probably do with having the love and care of her parents, as well as the physical separation from the marital home to come to terms with what has happened.
Agree and Kensington Palace will offer much needed privacy during this terribly sad time.Returning to the home of your parents at a time like this makes perfect sense.
Lady Gabriella was always a familiar face at these royal events with her beautiful radiant smile.Richard Eden claims that Gabriella has been invited to Trooping next month; before Covid she was a regular attendee.
He also states that there's an upcoming memorial service planned for Thomas Kingston, since the funeral was very private and limited to only a few people. His family has decided a larger event will celebrate his life.
