A young cousin of Prince William and Harry was found dead at her family home with a firearm next to her, an inquest heard.
Rosie Roche, the granddaughter of Princess Diana’s uncle, was found by her mother and sister on July 14 after she had been packing to go away with friends.
A firearm was discovered near the 20-year-old Durham University student at her childhood home in Norton, Wiltshire.
An inquest into Ms Roche’s death opened at Wiltshire and Swindon Coroner's Court 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 the family said she “will be sorely missed”. Ms Roche was the eldest child of Edmund Hugh Burke Roche, 53, and his wife Phillipa Katie Victoria Long.
Her grandfather was the 5th Baron Fermoy, Princess Diana's uncle, who committed suicide by gunshot at Eddington House in Hungerford, Berkshire in 1984.
In February 2024, Thomas Kingston, 45, the husband of Prince Michael’s daughter Lady Gabriella Windsor, 44, died from a head injury, with a gun found near his body at his parents' home in the Cotswolds.
A coroner found that he took his own life while “suffering adverse effects of medication he had recently been prescribed”.
