Coroner Reveals Rosie Roche’s Tragic Cause of Death in Royal Family Scandal
Hi, I’m Riley Carter. Another day, another headline.
Let’s unpack this without trying too hard. Twenty-year-old Rosie Roche, a cousin to Prince William and Prince Harry, died from a serious head injury, the Wiltshire and Swindon coroner’s office confirmed in a report covered by multiple British outlets on July 22, 2025. Coroner Grant Davies told The Sun that investigators found no evidence of third-party involvement and deemed the case non-suspicious. A gun discovered near Roche’s body suggests authorities are exploring all angles, including potential self-harm, though no official suicide ruling has been issued.
Roche was discovered at her family home in England by her mother and sister, the coroner’s office revealed. She was best known as the granddaughter of Princess Diana’s uncle, which placed her in the extended circle of the British royal family. Despite her high-profile lineage, friends remember her as an easygoing English Literature student at Durham University, where she had just begun exploring Shakespeare and modern poetry.
Multiple sources, including TMZ and The Sun, are reporting that Roche’s condition was critical by the time emergency services arrived. The coroner’s statement makes it clear that foul play is off the table, leaving the tragedy shrouded in unanswered questions. “There was no third-party involvement,” Grant Davies told The Sun, while The Sun also reported that the gun found at the scene is pending forensic tests.
Beyond headlines, The Yorkshire Post published a heartfelt obituary last Friday. It describes Roche as an “incredible sister” to her two siblings and a devoted daughter. The obituary also confirmed a private funeral and memorial service will be held, respecting the family’s wishes for a quiet goodbye.
Social media reactions have ranged from shock to sympathy, with many fans expressing sadness over losing such a young life. Royal watchers are now asking what this means for the Windsors and how the palace will respond to a private tragedy in their ranks. There’s no official comment yet from Kensington Palace or Windsor Castle, though insiders say the family is “deeply saddened” by the news.
