The engagement happened in August with Thomas proposing while they were on a trip to the Channel Islands. Gabriella is Senior Director at Branding Latin America and she also writes, contributing to The London Magazine. Her fiancé Tom works in frontier market investment & is a Director of Devonport Capital. Rebecca went on to explain that Tom and Pippa Middleton used to date and he and Gabriella attended the wedding of Pippa to James Matthews in May 2017, you can see them at said wedding below. Gabriella is the daughter of Prince Michael of Kent, the Queen’s first cousin which makes her a distant relation to Harry and William.

Tom is an ex of Pippa Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge's sister. She dated the Bristol graduate in 2011. Tom used to procure the release of hostages in Iraq before moving into the world of finance. He and Ella attended Pippa's wedding to James Matthews last year. Small world! https://t.co/Yg6blnO8zK
