A firearm was found close to her at the property in Norton, near Malmesbury, Wilts.

An inquest was opened at Wiltshire and Swindon coroner’s court and adjourned until October 25.

Area coroner Grant Davies said police “have deemed the death as non-suspicious and there was no third-party involvement”.

Rosie had been studying English Literature at Durham University.

A spokeswoman said she “will be sorely missed”.

It come after Thomas Kingston, husband of Harry and William’s cousin Lady Gabriella Kingston, died from a head injury, with a gun found nearby, in February 2024.

Katy Skerrett, senior coroner for Gloucestershire, had recorded a narrative verdict and said Mr Kingston had taken his own life.

Both Rosie’s family and a spokesman for Prince William declined to comment last night.
