The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's youngest child, Prince Louis, turned two on Thursday, but the toddler also shares his birthday with another member of the royal family. Lady Gabriella Windsor, whose father, Prince Michael of Kent, is the Queen's cousin, also marked her 39th birthday on 23 April.

Known as "Ella" to friends and family, the royal will soon have cause for another celebration – her first wedding anniversary with husband Thomas Kingston. The couple tied the knot at St George's Chapel in Windsor on 18 May 2019. The bride wore an embroidered wedding dress with sheer lace sleeves, designed by Luisa Beccaria for her big day, accessorising with a diamond tiara worn by her mother, Princess Michael of Kent, and her paternal grandmother, Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark, for their nuptials.
