Who is Lady Gabriella’s husband-to-be?
Lady Gabriella Windsor, the daughter of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, is marrying Thomas Kingston. Kingston was reported to have dated Pippa Middleton in the past, the sister of Duchess Kate Middleton.
They will say their vows at St. George’s Chapel inside Windsor Castle, the same venue at which Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding took place.
Why is Prince William not attending Lady Gabriella’s wedding?
Prince William is reported to have another event planned on the same day as Lady Gabriella Windsor’s royal wedding, and that is why he will not be showing up.
The Duke of Cambridge will be going to the FA Cup final game on Saturday, to watch the teams Machester City and Watford play against each other. They will be competing for the championship.
Since Prince William is the president of England’s Football Association, as reported by the magazine People, we can see why this sports event might be significant to him. William’s wife, Kate Middleton is also skipping the royal wedding. Could that be because she wants to be by her husband’s side as he attends the final game?
The FA Cup final game is an event that Prince William attends every year, but last year he had to miss watching the game, as it fell on the same date as his brother’s, Prince Harry’s wedding.
Prince Harry was getting married last year on almost the exact same date as Lady Gabriella Windsor’s wedding this year.
Lady Gabriella Windsor is a full-time royal?
Gabriella Windsor’s full-time job is working in branding, and she has also worked as a writer for several papers which includes Sunday Telegraph, The Spectator, The Evening Standard, and Country Life. Windsor is not working as a full-time royal, unlike her cousins Prince William and Prince Harry. She graduated from Brown University as well as Oxford University.
Did Gabriella Windsor’s mother wear a brooch to meet Meghan Markle which sparked controversy?
Lady Gabriella Windsor’s mother, the Princess of Kent, made a controversial move when she chose to wear a brooch that was perceived as racist by the general public. The pin was a blackamoor one, and she was wearing it while meeting Meghan Markle for the first time at Christmas lunch hosted by Queen Elizabeth II.
Lady Gabriella’s other parent is not a stranger to controversy either. Her father, Prince Michael of Kent, has not been attending royal events in the past which he was reprimanded for. Those are not the only examples of Gabriella Windsor’s parents being in the public eye. In 2002 they were criticized for letting Queen Elizabeth II pay their rent from her private funds, until the year 2010.
