Thomas Kingston‘s relative is detailing the royal family’s grief.

More than one year after the financier died by suicide in February 2024, Sophie Winkleman, who is married to his wife Lady Gabriella Kingston‘s brother Lord Frederick Windsor, shared insight into how the royal family members have been doing. 

“That was a big tragedy in our lives and we all miss him every day,” Sophie—who shares daughters Maud, 12, and Isabella, 9, with Frederick, told The Times in an interview posted on Nov. 12. “My girls adored him. It’s brutal.”

And they’ve kept Thomas’ spirit alive.

“We’re still in touch with all his family,” she noted of his loved ones, which include parents Martin Kingston and Jill Kingston as well as sisters Joanna Connolly and Emma Murray, “and it feels like he’s still with us.”

Months after his February 2024 death, Thomas’ loved ones honored him publicly in June 2024 at a celebration of life event at St Mary Abbots Church in Kensington in London.
