The Princess of Wales reached out to grieving Lady Gabriella Windsor for help in planning her carol concert. Kate, 42, made her appeal over the summer to Lady Gabriella, 43, whose husband Thomas Kingston killed himself in February. Lady Gabriella, daughter of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, took a major role in planning the Westminster Abbey service on December 6.

Her financier husband, 45, who she married in 2019, shot himself dead at his parents’ Cotswolds home after an adverse reaction to anti-depressant medication. Lady Gabriella was said to be a ‘real member of the carol service team’ and influential in choosing the musical performances.

As a singer-songwriter who has previously released a charity single she brought her expertise to the concert. An insider said she ‘enjoyed her role within the service and was excited to be a part of it’, while the Princess was ‘incredibly grateful for her contribution’.

A friend added: ‘She was very touched and grateful to the Princess to be asked to contribute to her very special concert. She felt honoured.’. The Princess of Wales, 42, hosted her fourth 'Together at Christmas' service at the historic church in the heart of London at the start of December.
