20-year-Old Royal Cousin Of Princes William & Harry Found Dead At Home

A ‘firearm nearby’ has been discovered next to the body of Prince William and Harry’s cousin.

On July 14, Rosie Roche, Princess Diana’s uncle’s granddaughter, passed away at her family home.

After packing for a vacation with friends, the 20-year-old was discovered by her mother and sister.

According to The Sun, a gun was discovered at the Norton, Wiltshire, property close to her.

The Wiltshire and Swindon coroner’s court held an inquest, which was postponed until October 25.

Coroner Grant Davies said police “have deemed the death as non-suspicious and there was no third-party involvement.”

Ms. Roche had been enrolled at Durham University to pursue a degree in English literature.

The cousin of William and Harry ‘will be sorely missed,’ a spokeswoman added.

An obituary published by the Yorkshire Post said: “Roche, Rosie Jeanne Burke. Died on Monday 14th July 2025.”

Hugh and Pippa’s darling daughter, Archie and Agatha’s amazing sister, and Derek and Rae Long’s granddaughter.

“Private family funeral. A memorial service will be held at a later date.”

The Times newspaper carried a notice of Ms. Roche’s passing.

The student was the eldest child of 53-year-old Hugh Burke Roche and his wife, the former Phillipa Kate Victoria Long, and a scion of the Barons Fermoy.

Her grandfather was Princess Diana’s uncle, the 5th Baron Fermoy, who committed suicide in 1984.

A gun was discovered close to the body of Thomas Kingston, the husband of Lady Gabriella Windsor, who passed away from a head injury at his parents’ Cotswolds home last February.

According to an inquest held in January, a general practitioner at the Royal Mews Surgery, a practice located in Buckingham Palace, prescribed him a number of medications to treat depression after he experienced difficulty falling asleep as a result of work-related stress.

The former hostage negotiator turned financier had stopped taking all medications in the days before his death, and toxicology tests revealed that he had trace amounts of the sleeping pill zopiclone and caffeine in his system.

It was discovered by the coroner that he committed suicide while “suffering adverse effects of medication he had recently been prescribed.”
