Princes Harry and William’s young cousin Rosie found dead at home

Rosie Roche, younger cousin to Princes Harry and William, has been found dead at her family home in a small English village.

A 20-year-old cousin of Princes William and Harry was recently found dead at her family home, according to new reports.

An inquest heard that Rosie Roche, granddaughter of Princess Diana’s uncle, died at her family home in the small English village of Norton on July 14.

The Sun reports that Roche’s body was discovered by her mother and sister, and that she had been packing for a trip away with friends.

Area coroner Grant Davies said police “have deemed the death as non-suspicious and there was no third-party involvement,” according to The Sun.

Roche was a university student who had been studying English Literature at Durham University at the time of her death.

Princes Harry and William are yet to publicly comment on their cousin’s death.

The Yorkshire Post published her obituary on July 19, noting that Roche will have a private family funeral and a memorial service will be held at a later date.

In the obituary, she was described as “darling daughter of Hugh and Pippa, incredible sister to Archie and Agatha [and] granddaughter to Derek and Rae Long.”

Roche’s death comes after another sudden passing rocked the royal family last year.

Thomas Kingston, the husband of royal cousin Lady Gabriella Windsor and former boyfriend of Pippa Middleton, was found dead in February aged 45. An inquest later deemed his death “not suspicious.”

Kingston had been visiting his parents at their home in the Cotswolds when his father found him dead.

“It is with the deepest sorrow that we announce the death of Thomas Kingston, our beloved husband, son and brother,” a statement issued on behalf of Lady Gabriella and his family said shortly after his death.

“Tom was an exceptional man who lit up the lives of all who knew him. His death has come as a great shock to the whole family and we ask you to respect our privacy as we mourn his passing.”
