Buckingham Palace announces ANOTHER Royal wedding as Lady Gabriella Windsor reveals her engagement to Pippa Middleton’s ex
The Queen's cousin's daughter has been dating 'the most eligible man in London' for three years
THERE is another Royal Wedding on the horizon, and it involves Pippa Middleton's ex.
Buckingham Palace announced the engagement of Lady Gabriella Windsor, 37, and Thomas Kingston earlier today - with the couple expected to tie the knot next spring.
Lady Gabriella, who goes by Ella, is the daughter of Prince Michael of Kent, the Queen's cousin - making her 50th in line to the throne.
While Thomas, who's previously been described as the most eligible man in London, dated Pippa back in 2011, after she split from cricketer Alex Loudon.
The former couple met through mutual friends and have remained close, with Thomas and Ella bagging an invite to Pippa's wedding to James Matthew last year - despite not appearing at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's.
Buckingham Palace said in a statement: "Prince and Princess Michael of Kent are delighted to announce the engagement of their daughter Lady Gabriella Windsor to Mr Thomas Kingston.
"The engagement took place in August; Mr Kingston proposed on the Isle of Sark (Guernsey)."
Ella is a senior branding director at Branding Latin America, as well as a contributing writer for The London Magazine.
The royal shares a birthday with little Prince Louis, and has a Masters degree from Oxford.
While her boyfriend of three years works in frontier market investment, and is the director of Devonport Capital.
