Lady Gabriella and Thomas Kingston's last picture together on Valentine's Day
The last poignant photograph of Thomas Kingston with his wife, Lady Gabriella, was taken on Valentine's Day.
The smiling, happy couple joined Queen Camilla and Lady Gabriella's brother and his wife, Lord and Lady Frederick Windsor, at a star-studded event in London to celebrate the work of William Shakespeare.
The royals witnessed performances by Dame Judi Dench, Gary Oldman and Robert Lindsay at Grosvenor House.
Lady Gabriella looked elegant in a cobalt blue pussy-bow blouse and a navy satin skirt for the occasion, while Thomas matched his wife by wearing a bright blue scarf.
Thomas was a financier who married into the royal family after a summer proposal on the island of Sark almost six years ago.
He died suddenly at the age of 45 on Sunday, Buckingham Palace announced on Tuesday evening.
