A tragedy has struck the royal family. It has been reported that a close relative of Princes Harry and William has died. The young woman was only 20 years old.
According to foreign media, Rosie Roche, a cousin of Princes William and Harry, passed away. She was the granddaughter of the nephew of Princess Diana’s uncle, making her a second cousin to William and Harry. She died at the family home in Norton. A firearm was found near her body. The coroner stated that the police do not consider the death suspicious and found no evidence of third-party involvement.
Rosie’s body was discovered by her mother and sister after she was packing for a trip with friends. A family representative said the young woman, who was studying English literature at Durham University, “will be deeply missed.”
The exact cause of the young relative’s death is still unknown. The medical examiner in Wiltshire and Swindon has opened an investigation, which has been postponed until October 25.
Rosie’s tragic death comes after another loss related to the royal family—Thomas Kingston, husband of Lady Gabriella Windsor, died in February 2024. A firearm was also found near Kingston’s body, and the investigation concluded that the cause of death was a “traumatic head injury.”
