Devonport Capital faces £50m debt crisis after Thomas Kingston's death

Thomas Kingston, husband of Lady Gabriella Windsor, died by suicide in February 2024 amid significant financial and mental health struggles. At the time of his death, his company, Devonport Capital, was facing nearly £50 million in bad debts, with two major borrowers defaulting on large loans, which contributed to the company's placement into administration. The financial strain led some creditors to consider legal action, further compounding Kingston's difficulties. An inquest revealed that Kingston had been prescribed medication for anxiety and insomnia, including sertraline and zopiclone, and had experienced adverse effects after stopping the medication. Lady Gabriella has since campaigned for greater awareness of the risks associated with such medications. The inquest and subsequent reporting highlighted the intersection of mental health challenges and financial pressures in Kingston's tragic death.
