The recent tragic death of Rosie Roche, a 20-year-old cousin of Prince William and Prince Harry, has elicited profound sorrow within the British royal family and beyond. Found deceased at her family's residence in Wiltshire with a firearm nearby, Roche's passing raises significant concerns regarding mental health and the impact of familial loss . While police investigations have classified the incident as non-suspicious, the circumstances surrounding her death remain alarming and highlight the pressing need for open dialogues about mental well-being among young adults.
William and Harry's cousin was reportedly found by her mother and sister ... and there was a firearm recovered near her body. She was said to have been packing for an upcoming trip with her friends.
It sounds like cops believe Rosie may have taken her own life ... because coroner Grant Davies told the Sun police "deemed the death as non-suspicious ... there was no third-party involvement."
“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.”
A private funeral will be held, and a memorial service is slated to take place later. In the meantime, here is a look at Rosie Roche's family wealth.
Rosie Roche's family net worth
The Roches are a business family, but have held a title in the Peerage of Ireland. They have been Barons of Fermoy. The title is currently with Maurice Burke Roche, who is the 6th Baron.
These back-to-back tragedies follow another devastating event in the royal extended family.
On February 25, 2024, British financier Thomas Kingston, husband to Lady Gabriella Windsor and former boyfriend of Pippa Middleton, died at age 45 from a catastrophic head injury. A firearm was also found nearby at his parents' home in the Cotswolds.
As the granddaughter of Princess Diana's uncle, Roche was part of a prominent lineage that has faced various public challenges over the years. The royal family's response to this tragedy can serve as an opportunity to advocate for greater awareness around issues like depression and anxiety among youth . Both William and Harry have previously spoken about their own struggles with mental health; thus, this situation may prompt them to further engage in advocacy efforts aimed at supporting individuals facing similar adversities.
