Tom Kingston's family call for antidepressant change

The parents of Thomas Kingston, the husband to Lady Gabriella Windsor, are calling for changes to the way doctors prescribe antidepressants.

Martin and Jill Kingston found their son after he took his own life in their home after they had enjoyed a perfectly lovely lunch together.

At an inquest, senior coroner Katy Skerrett said Mr Kingston had taken his own life and "was suffering adverse effects of medication he had recently been prescribed." In a prevention of future deaths report, she said action must be taken over the risk to patients prescribed SSRI medications.

Speaking to Today's Emma Barnett, Jill and Martin Kingston said they want their son to be remembered as "a joyful, giving, full of life and caring person".
