Kingston was found dead on Sunday evening at an address in Gloucestershire, a county in South West England. Emergency personnel arrived shortly after 6 p.m. A cause of death has yet to be determined, but there are no suspicious circumstances or other parties involved in Kingston's death.
Kingston previously dated Kate Middleton's (now Catherine, the Princess of Wales) younger sister, Pippa. Although they split in 2011, the two remained good friends.
Pippa married her husband James Matthews in 2017.
Earlier in the day, Kensington Palace announced that Prince William would not be attending a scheduled memorial for his godfather, the late King Constantine of Greece, due to a personal matter.
