More bad news for the British Royal Family, not without traces of mystery: this time it is the death of Thomas Kingston at just 45 years of age - considered "non-suspicious" by the police, but not even clarified in its singular circumstances - which is clearly in the newspapers. related to the Windsors through marriage to the second daughter of the Dukes of Kent, cousins of the late Queen Elizabeth, Lady Gabriella Kingston, 56th in line to the throne.
Kingston, a former diplomat and successful financier in the City who in the past had also had a relationship with Pippa Middleton, sister of Kate, future queen and wife of the heir to the throne William, was found dead "on a country property" in Gloucestershire .
So not at his house.
The authorities were quick to make it known that there were no suspicious facts in the death, nor "other people involved".
But they did not cite any possible cause, such as an illness or anything else, so much so that some media outlets evoked some element of "mystery".
However, the reaction of the leaders of the dynasty was immediate, starting with the saddened message of condolence released by Buckingham Palace on behalf of King Charles III, Queen Camilla and the entire House of Windsor: "Tom - we read - was an exceptional man who elevated the lives of all who knew him. His death causes great dismay throughout the family."
The BBC also clarified that the news of Kingston's sudden disappearance, released yesterday evening, would have nothing to do with "the personal reasons" evoked yesterday morning by the court to justify Prince William's unexplained last-minute withdrawal from a solemn family memorial service at Windsor Castle in memory of Constantine of Greece, who died in 2023.
