It’s a ceremony they won’t soon forget. As the coffin of Queen Elizabeth II joined Westminster Hall on Wednesday, where it will be on public display for four days, the royal family had gathered for a short mass after a procession through the streets of London. And in front of the cameras around the world, some seemed to split the armor: Kate Middleton, in particular, had trouble holding back her tears, while Prince Harry was seen wiping his eyes.
But it was one of their distant cousins who was obviously the most affected, as reported Hello !. As the coffin entered the beautiful hall of Westminster, Lady Gabriella Windsor was indeed the victim of a malaise and asked for help before being evacuated by her husband, Thomas Kingston and his mother, Princess Michael of Kent.
The young woman was then no longer seen behind her cousins, she who had been placed with her brother Frederick and her sister-in-law, actress Sophie Winkleman, at the back of the room, behind some of the Queen’s grandchildren including Zara Phillips, Eugenie and Beatrice from York or the young Louise and James from Wessex.
A malaise that is easily understood. The 41-year-old Englishwoman has always been very close to the sovereign, who attended her wedding in 2019, and must have been very touched by her death. Let’s just hope it doesn’t happen to him again for the grandiose funeral scheduled for Monday, September 19 in the presence of all the heads of state of the world!
Daughter of the first cousin of Queen Elizabeth II, Lady Gabriella Windsor is a journalist but above all an important personality of the British jet-set. Very present in social events, she had made the buzz by marrying Thomas Kingston: the man is indeed … the ex of Pippa Middleton! She had also attended the wedding, not very resentful, just like Prince Harry, at the time very young dad of little Archie.
It must be said that the young woman has rebuilt her life: since 2016, she has shared the life of financier James Matthews with whom she has three children (Arthur, 3 and a half years old, Grace, 1 and a half years old, and Rose, 3 months old) . This one should also be present at the funeral to support her sister, who seems collapsed since the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
