UK: Lady Gabriella Windsor and Thomas Kingston engaged to marry
Buckingham Palace announced earlier today the engagement of Lady Gabriella Windsor and Thomas Kingston:
Her husband to be, Thomas «Tom» Kingston, is a director of Devonport Capital, which according to its website «provides companies operating in frontier economies, difficult or post-conflict environments with access to expansion finance and liquidity-bridging solutions».
According to the website Companies House, his full name is Thomas Henry Robin Kingston, he is born in 1978 and his parents are William M Kingston and Jill M. Bache. (Thanks to Netty Leistra, who provided the link in a message at Nobiliana earlier today and was also the first to provide genealogical details in a posting at Nobiliana in 2015.)
The quote above is based on various Twitter postings and The Telegraph. At the time of writing this article, the press release has not been made available at the official website of the British Royal Family. Obviously the announcement was sent to all the major newspapers and press agencies. Still I think it is strange that the announcement was not also tweeted by its official account or published on the official website. And why not give a few more details about Mr. Kingston while you are at it?
More details about Mr. Kingston's family can be found on the above-mentioned royal and noble genealogy website Nobiliana. Marlene Koenig has also provided a few details in her blog earlier today.
