The Royal Family was rocked this week after a suicide sent shockwaves through Buckingham Palace, and the person who perished was close to the family.

According to the Daily Mail, a 20-year-old woman related as a cousin to Prince William and Prince Harry was found dead with a "firearm nearby" according to authorities.

The woman, Rosie Roche, was reportedy packing her bags for a vacation with her friends before she was found deceased by her mother and sister at the property in Norton, Wiltshire.

Coroner Grant Davies confirmed that police have determined that there was no foul play and nothing suspicious about her death, nor was there a third party involved in the tragic passing.

What's happening?

The Yorkshire Post posted an obituary for Roche, writing "Roche, Rosie Jeanne Burke. Died on Monday 14th July 2025."

The Daily Mail added:

'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 appeared in The Times newspaper.

Some on social media who follow the Royal Family and their seemingly never-ending string of tragedies closely commented on the matter with great suspicion, wondering how another Royal member could die under such horrible circumstances.

Roches' death sparked a mountain of conversation across social media.

Social media reacts

Aside from tributes and condolences from those saddened by Roche's passing, others suggested that it's simply too bizarre that another Royal member died under similar circumstances.

"The British royals face another heartbreaking loss as 20-year-old Rosie Roche —a third cousin of Princes William and Harry —was found dead in her family’s Wiltshire home on July 14th," one X user wrote.

They added, "The circumstances are eerily similar to last year’s tragic death of Lady Gabriella Windsor’s husband, Thomas Kingston, who also died with a firearm nearby."

While it appears that the police have closed this particular case, it'll be interesting to see if anything else comes of it.
