Introduction
On May 18, 2019, Lady Gabriella Windsor married Thomas Kingston at St. Georges Chapel in Windsor, the same historic venue where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were married. The ceremony was a highly anticipated event, with a focus on the intricate details of the bridal party.
The Bridesmaids
Lady Gabriella Windsor's wedding involved six bridesmaids in total, each with a unique background and relationship to the bride and groom:
Maud Windsor: The eldest niece, daughter of Lord Frederick Windsor and Sophie Winkleman. Maud, born in 2013, shares the same educational experience as Prince George, making her a favored choice for the wedding party.

This was Isabella's first time in the public spotlight, marking a significant addition to the wedding procession.

Giada del Drago is now a yoga coach, and Lady Gabriella was a witness at her wedding in 2015. Elliza Rothschild: The daughter of Ben Goldsmith, known for his second wife Jemima Jones and the catering firm she co-owns. Elliza, born in 2016, is not half-sister Iris as reported by the Daily Mail, as her older half-sister died in an accident recently. Elliza is the eldest daughter in a larger family with multiple siblings born from different marriages of her father.
