THE husband of Royal Family member Lady Gabriella Kingston left £660,000 in his will, The Sun can reveal.
Thomas Kingston, who tragically took his own life in February 2024, passed the entire estate to his widow and never wrote a will.
The high-flying financier had headed an investment firm which owed £8million that it could not pay back.
Mr Kingston is said to have put more than a million of his own money into the firm to save it.
His family and the coroner linked his suicide to side effects from pills he had been taking as medication.
Mr Kingston’s letter of administration, seen by The Sun, shows he left £939,429, reduced to £664,429 after costs, debts and taxes were deducted.

The document was signed off by the High Court earlier this week, more than two years after his death.
The 45-year-old British businessman married the daughter of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent in 2019.
Thomas traded on the financial markets and was the director of Devonport Capital.
Earlier this month, records showed his firm was trying to fill an £8million black hole when he died.
It had racked up £27.9million in debt with assets worth £19.8million.
Thomas had also invested £1.6million of his own money in the company before his tragic death.
His father, barrister Martin Kingston, had helped try to bail out his son’s firm, and is owed £162,000.
The firm is now in liquidation, and creditors will receive repayments at a rate of 71p on each £1 they were owed.
The mogul died from a “traumatic wound” and was found with a gun near his body.
His father found his son’s body in a locked building on their property with a “catastrophic head injury”.
In a statement read out for her at the Gloucester inquest, Lady Gabriella, 44, said she exchanged “upbeat messages” with her husband the morning he died.
She said she believed a cocktail of sertraline, antidepressant drugs and zopiclone sleeping tablets had caused him to take his own life.
The non-working Royal added: “Tom had never expressed suicidal thoughts to me.
“I believe Tom’s action was an adverse reaction to the medication he had been taking in the last two weeks of his life.
“There was no stress I was aware of that could have pushed him to take his own life.
“If anything had been troubling him, I’m positive he would have shared it with me.
“The fact he took his life at the home of his beloved parents, where only they would find him, suggests to me it was the decision of a sudden impulse sparked by seeing the gun.”
Tributes flooded in to Thomas – once described as the “most eligible man in London” – after his untimely death.
King Charles and Queen Camilla sent their “most heartfelt thoughts and prayers” to his family.
Prince William attended his memorial service in March 2024 alongside 140 family members and friends.
How to get help
EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide
It doesn’t discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society – from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.
It’s the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.
And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.
Yet it’s rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.
