As Her Majesty’s coffin was
moved inside Westminster Hall, a small commotion seemed to be occurring
behind, were part of the Queen’s family stood watching the coffin’s
arrival. Lady Gabriella’s husband, Thomas Kingston, could be seen aiding
someone, while her mother, Princess Michael of Kent appeared to look concerned
as she looked over. Next to her, Sophie Winkleman and her husband Lord
Frederick Windsor also seemed worried.
Following her collapse, Lady
Gabriella was not seen again during the event. However, it seems she soon
recovered as, while she was absent from a photo that featured all the members
of the royal family, her husband, her mother and brother and sister-in-law remained
at the service.
The royal had a close
relationship with the monarch, and Her Majesty was one of the guests at her
wedding to Thomas in 2019, where a special moment was caught between them
and quickly went viral on social media.

Concerned crowds tended to her
In the touching image shared
on Instagram by the Prince Dimitri Jewellery page, Gabriella could be seen
bending down and holding the Queen’s hand as they spoke. The monarch, dressed
in a pink hat and coat, was beaming back at the newlywed.
Despite Lady Gabriella
fainting, the service continued uninterrupted as the Queen began her lie in
state at Westminster Hall, and members of the royal family gathered to pay their
respects.
The Queen’s coffin will now
continue to lie at Westminster Hall until her state funeral, which will be held
on 19 September.
The procession kicked off at
2.22pm and arrived in Westminster at 3pm, followed by her son, King Charles III
and other senior members of the royal family.
