“In particular, Their Majesties send their most heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Gabriella and to all the Kingston family.”
Lady Gabriella, 42, and the financier tied the knot in 2019 at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle.
The nuptials were attended by several members of the royal family, including Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Harry.
Thomas previously dated Kate Middleton’s younger sister, Pippa, 40, who is now married to James Matthews.
Though the “Celebrate: A Year of Festivities for Families and Friends” author and Thomas ended their romance in 2011, they remained close friends.
