Lady Gabriella weds Thomas Kingston

Last weekend we saw another royal wedding. This wedding belonged to Lady Gabriella Windsor (now Kingston) to her fiance Thomas Kingston. The royal family stepped out and filled St George's Chapel as the only daughter of Prince Michael of Kent got married.

Lady Gabriella had amongst her flower girls her nieces Maud and Isabella Windsor. This was Maud's second time as flower girl, the first time being in October at Princess Eugenie's wedding. Also in the bridal party was Gabriella's cousin Estella Taylor, a granddaughter of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent.

Below are some pictures of the beautiful day.
