20-year-old Rosie Roche, granddaughter of Princess Diana’s uncle, was sadly discovered unresponsive at her family’s residence in Wiltshire, with a firearm located nearby. The discovery was made by her mother and sister on July 14, as Rosie had been preparing for a trip with friends.
According to details shared during a hearing at the Wiltshire and Swindon Coroner’s Court, area coroner Grant Davies stated that police have classified the circumstances as non-suspicious, confirming that no third-party involvement was found.
Rosie, a relative of Princes William and Harry, was pursuing a degree in English Literature at Durham University at the time. A university representative described her as a bright and caring young woman who “will be deeply missed” by all who knew her.
The inquest into her passing has been formally opened and adjourned until October 25, when further details are expected to be reviewed.
