Prince William attended the funeral of his friend Thomas Kingston, who died at the age of 45. Thomas was the husband of Lady Gabriella Kingston, daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Kent and second cousin of King Charles III.

The Prince of Wales attended the religious service alone, due to his recovery that continues to keep his wife away from his royal duties. The presence of William of England, heir to the crown, was confirmed a day after Kate Middleton apologized for the “confusion” generated after she herself retouched the photo with her three children.
