Another royal wedding took place at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle on Saturday, a year after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tied the knot in the same location.

The Queen, Princess Beatrice, Pippa Middleton, and the Duke of Sussex himself were in attendance as Lady Gabriella Windsor and Thomas Kingston tied the knot.

Known as “Ella,” Lady Gabriella, 38, is the daughter of the Queen’s first cousin, Prince Michael of Kent.

She studied at Oxford University and is reportedly a branding director specializing in arts and travel, though her father's official website states that she also currently works as a freelance journalist.

40-year-old Kingston, meanwhile, works in finance, and reportedly once dated Pippa Middleton.

Here's a look inside the glamorous event.
