On 18 May 2019, Lady
Gabriella Windsor – the daughter of the Queen’s cousin, Prince
Michael of Kent – married Thomas Kingston in a beautiful ceremony at St
George’s Chapel.
Three years on, we take a look
back at a very touching exchange captured on camera between the bride and the
Queen – one of the many royals who attended the Windsor Castle ceremony.
The image shows Gabriella
bending down and holding the Queen’s hand as they speak. The monarch, dressed
in a matching hat and coat, can be seen beaming back at the newlywed ahead of
Gabriella and Thomas’s wedding breakfast.
The couple held their wedding
reception at Frogmore House in Windsor, which included a huge marquee.
Gabriella reportedly wore an
impressive four bespoke bridal outfits created by Luisa Beccaria on
her wedding weekend, but she suffered an “unnerving” mishap with her
first gown, which featured long sleeves and elegant embroidery.

Lady Gabriella and Thomas Kingston have celebrated their third wedding anniversary
Lady Gabriella revealed:
“Suddenly I could feel my tiara start to pull back and in those few
unnerving moments I thought it would come crashing down with an almighty clunk.
“My little bridesmaids
had accidentally wandered onto my very sheer tulle 20ft veil. I slowed down
until they’d stepped off it, but then it happened again. Fortunately, my
hairdresser had pinned the tiara in place and it stood firm.”

Guests included the Queen and Prince Harry
The royal was wearing an
exquisite tiara that featured diamonds set in gold and silver in a classic
Russian fringe style. It was previously worn by her mother Princess Michael of
Kent and her grandmother Princess Marina of Greece on their wedding days.
Among the guests who joined
the couple on their special day were Prince Harry, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew
and members of the Middleton family – Pippa, James, Carole and Michael.
