Who is Lady Gabriella Windsor marrying?

On May 18, 2019 the royal is set to wed long-term partner Thomas Kingston.

Buckingham Palace announced news of their engagement in a statement last September, which read: “Prince and Princess Michael of Kent are delighted to announce the engagement of their daughter Lady Gabriella Windsor to Mr Thomas Kingston. The engagement took place in August; Mr Kingston proposed on the Isle of Sark.”

Her fiancé, Thomas Kingston, is the director of Devonport Capital - a firm which specialises in providing finance for companies in ‘frontier economies’.

The 40-year-old previously worked within the Diplomatic Missions Unit of the UK’s Foreign Office.

But Kingston is no stranger to regal life, as he has was linked to Pippa Middleton back in 2011 - the year of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding.

The pair are rumoured to have dated following Middleton’s split from cricketer Alex Loudon, as they were also spotted at the Cheltenham races together back in 2013.

Though they remain on good terms, as the soon-to-be newlyweds invited to her 2017 wedding to James Matthews.

Where will the royal wedding take place?

The couple will tie the knot on May 18, 2019 - the day before the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s first wedding anniversary.

Following in the footsteps of Harry and Meghan, the nuptials will take place at St George’s Chapel in Windsor. This is also where Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank tied the knot in October, 2018.

Who will attend the royal wedding?

Lady Gabriella and Thomas Kingston’s wedding may mark the third royal ceremony in recent months but the couple’s big day is sure to be a much smaller, more private, affair.

Unlike the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank’s nuptials, the wedding will not be broadcast on television.

However, we can expect to see some familiar royal faces.

It’s highly likely that the Queen will be in attendance while Pippa Middleton and James Matthews are sure to have bagged an invite.

Due to the fact that the couple attended Princess Beatrice and Jack Brooksbank’s nuptials, the royal newlyweds are also sure to take a seat in the chapel.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are also sure to attend, although the big day clashes with the FA Cup Final - which Prince William usually goes to in his role as President of the Football Association.

However, it is unlikely that royal fans will catch a glimpse of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Although they will have been invited, the couple are likely to spend the day at home with their newborn son.
