The tragic event unfolded on Sunday evening when Kingston, a well-regarded financier, was found deceased in a locked building on his parents’ Cotswolds property. After sharing lunch with his parents, Kingston disappeared while his father was out walking the dog. Concerned after 30 minutes, his mother went to search for him, and his father found him with a catastrophic head injury after forcibly entering a locked outbuilding.
During the judicial inquiry, the coroner, Katy Skerrett, conveyed the somber details, including the presence of a gun at the scene. The police, however, determined that there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding Kingston’s death.

Buckingham Palace initially shared the news on behalf of Lady Gabriella and the family, describing Kingston as an “exceptional man” whose death came as a great shock.
In a separate statement, King Charles and Queen Camilla expressed their condolences, acknowledging Thomas Kingston’s role as a much-loved member of the family. They extended heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Lady Gabriella and the entire Kingston family.
Thomas Kingston’s passing has left a void in both his family and the wider royal community.
