The bereaved family of Rosie Roche, who was a cousin of Prince William and Prince Harry, have released an emotional statement about their "darling" daughter following her death. The 20-year-old was found dead at her family home in Norton, Wiltshire, last Monday, July 14.

Rosie, who was the granddaughter of Princess Diana’s uncle, was discovered by her mother and sister after she had been packing to go away with friends, an inquest heard. A gun was found next to her body.

She was the daughter of Edmund (Hugh) Burke Roche and Pippa Long. Her family paid an emotional tribute, describing her as an "incredible sister" to Archie and Agatha and a "darling daughter".

An obituary in the Yorkshire Post read: "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."

Rosie's death was deemed non-suspicious, with area coroner Grant Davies saying that police have found that there was "no third-party involvement".

According to the Sun, the inquest at Wiltshire and Swindon coroner’s court was adjourned until October 2025

A spokeswoman said Rosie, who had been studying English Literature at Durham University, will be "sorely missed".

It is not the first time the Royal Family has been struck by tragedy in recent years.

Thomas Kingston, who was married to Harry and William's cousin Lady Gabriella Windsor, died in February 2024.

A gun was found near the 45-year-old financier's body.

He died of self-inflicted gunshot wounds following "an adverse reaction to medication".
