This is the first picture of Prince William and Prince Harry’s cousin Rosie Roche, who has tragically been found d3ad at the age of just 20.

The Durham University student was discovered by her mother Pippa and sister Agatha at her family home in rural Wiltshire.

A firearm was found near to her body at the property in Norton. She had been packing for a trip away with friends, an inquest heard.

Rosie’s family have paid tribute to her, saying she was a ‘darling daughter’ to her parents Pippa and Hugh and an ‘incredible sister’ to Archie and Agatha.

A spokesman for the family said the 20-year-old ‘will be sorely missed’.

Emergency crews were pictured responding to a serious incident at the family home at around 1pm on Monday, July 14. An ambulance, three ambulance officers, two firearms officers and numerous local response officers were in attendance.

Rosie was the granddaughter of Princess Diana’s uncle, the 5th Baron Fermoy, Edmund Roche, who killed himself in 1984 after suffering from a long bout of depression.

He was found d3ad aged just 45, from a g::unsh0t at his home, Eddington House. His sister Frances was the mother of Princess Diana.

Last February, Thomas Kingston, the husband of royal Lady Gabriella Windsor, died with a g::un found near his body at his parents’ home in the Cotswolds.

A spokesman for Prince William declined to comment.

An inquest into Rosie’s death at Wiltshire and Swindon coroner’s court was opened on Sunday and adjourned until October 25.

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

A spokesman for Wiltshire Police said on July 14: ‘This relates to the sudden death of a woman in her 20s.

‘There are no suspicious circumstances and our thoughts are with her family.

‘We would ask that their privacy is respected at this terrible time.’

Ms Roche had been studying for a degree in English Literature at Durham University.

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

‘Darling daughter of Hugh and Pippa, incredible sister to Archie and Agatha, Granddaughter to Derek and Rae Long.

‘Private family funeral. A memorial service will be held at a later date.’

The death notice of Ms Roche also appeared in The Times newspaper.

Her grandfather was the 5th Baron Fermoy, Princess Diana’s uncle, who sh0t himself d3ad in 1984.

Last February, Thomas Kingston, royal Lady Gabriella Windsor’s husband, died from a head injury, with a g::un found near his body at his parents’ home in the Cotswolds.

An inquest in January heard that he had been given several drugs to treat depression by a GP at the Royal Mews Surgery, a practice at Buckingham Palace, after having trouble sleeping following stress at work.

In the days leading up to his death, the former hostage negotiator turned financier had stopped taking any medication and toxicology tests showed caffeine and small amounts of sleeping tablet zopiclone in his system.

The coroner found that he took his own life while ‘suffering adverse effects of medication he had recently been prescribed’.
