The Princes Michael of Kent, Charles III's 'inconvenient uncles', did not cancel their public agenda after the death of his son-in-law, Thomas Kingston.
Prince Michael of Kent, the official title of Charles III's "inconvenient uncles" (the prince is a cousin of the late Elizabeth II), continued with their schedule of activities despite the death of their son-in-law, Thomas Kingston, which occurred on Sunday past.
In this way, the princes decided to attend a morning religious service that took place two days after the body of their son-in-law was found lifeless in a home in Gloucestershire.

Prince Michael of Kent kept the death of his son-in-law a secret while attending a memorial service for King Constantine of Greece.
The couple was photographed dressed in black from head to toe for the ceremony that took place at Windsor Castle this Tuesday, hours before it came to light that Thomas Kingston, the husband of their daughter Lady Gabriella, had died at 45 years.

Upon arrival at St George's Chapel, the same place where Lady Gabriella married Thomas in 2019, Prince Michael of Kent, the so-called “awkward cousins” of Queen Elizabeth II, was seen speaking quietly as they occupied their seats to pay tribute to the godfather of the Prince of Wales. Now, his serious countenance takes on a new meaning after learning of the hard blow his family had suffered.
Thomas was found dead at a home in Gloucestershire on Sunday, but his death was not revealed by Buckingham Palace until Tuesday, following a memorial for the late King Constantine. Prince William – whose wife Kate Middleton continues to recover from abdominal surgery – was forced to cancel his attendance at the last minute for “personal reasons” about which he did not give further details, but it is believed that his absence was not related to the death of Thomas.

Lady Gabriella, known to her family as Ella, held her wedding reception at Frogmore House, the palace on whose grounds is the former residence of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Thomas Kingston was a director at venture capital firm Devonport Capital since 2017 and spent time in Baghdad, Iraq, where he assisted in the release of hostages while working in the Foreign Office's Diplomatic Missions Unit.
At the moment, his family has not wanted to give any details about the circumstances surrounding his death, but the possibility that it occurred in relation to a crime has been ruled out.
