In the months leading up to his death, Thomas had sought medical help for work-related stress and sleep issues.
As reported by , he was initially prescribed sertraline and zopiclone by a GP at the Royal Mews Surgery within Buckingham Palace. This occured before he was later switched to citalopram when these proved ineffective.
On the day of his death, Thomas is said to have appeared “normal” and was “fun”, with his mother recalling: “We were laughing about various things.”
In a statement read during the December inquest, Lady Gabriella Windsor described her marriage to Thomas as “deeply loving and trusting”.
