Gabriella, the Material Girl

HERE COMES the next royal bride. The countdown is on for Lady Gabriella Windsor’s wedding in less than two weeks, and the daughter of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent is busy completing her wardrobe for the occasion.

The 38-year-old branding director, who will marry banker Tom Kingston, 41, at St George’s Chapel in Windsor on May 18, was shopping in Chelsea at the weekend for wedding accoutrements.

Wearing a chequered blue coat, Lady Gabriella clutched what appeared to be an ivory swatch of a dress, which she held up against some flat shoes in a shop window before doing the same thing at another shop nearby.

The bride-to-be didn’t walk away with any new footwear but, doubtless, she’ll find something in time for the big day.
