Four years ago, Thomas married Lady Gabriella in 2019 at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle also tied the knot in 2018.
Although Pippa and Thomas broke up in 2011, the former couple remained close friends. Thomas and Gabriella attended Pippa's marriage to James Matthews in 2017 and two years later, Pippa and James were guests at Thomas' wedding.
Lady Gabriella is the second cousin of King Charles and 56th in the line of succession to the British throne, behind her father, older brother and two nieces.
While Gabriella is not a working member of the royal family, she and Kingston attended several events alongside other members of the royal family, including Wimbledon and Royal Ascot, as well as Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee and her funeral in 2022.
Just two weeks ago, Gabriella and Thomas joined Queen Camilla at the Celebration of Shakespeare event on February 14.
