Prince William and Harry’s Cousin Dies at 20 Years Old

Rosie Roche, a cousin of Princes William and Harry, is dead at age 20. In an obituary printed in the Yorkshire Post on Saturday, Roche’s family confirmed her passing.

“Darling daughter of Hugh and Pippa, incredible sister to Archie and Agatha, Granddaughter to Derek and Rae Long,” Roche’s obituary reads. “Private family funeral. A memorial service will be held at a later date.”

Roche, who was also the granddaughter of Princess Diana’s uncle Edmund Roche, was found by her mother and sister on July 14. She was reportedly preparing for a trip with her friends.

Rosie was pursuing a degree in English Literature at Durham University. A spokeswoman told The Sun that she “will be sorely missed.”

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

Another cousin of Princes William and Harry passed away last February under similar circumstances. Thomas Kingston, husband of Lady Gabriella Kingston, died from a head injury with a firearm located nearby. It was later determined that he had taken his own life.

Lady Gabriella is a second cousin of King Charles III, therefore relating her to William and Harry. Before Thomas married Gabriella in 2019, he had also dated William’s wife, Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales.
