Palmer-Tomkinson was a family friend of Prince Charles (pictured together, left, in 2003) and attended numerous royal weddings and occasions. She was last pictured (right) two weeks ago outside her flat, where she was found dead today
Tara Palmer-Tomkinson has
been found dead in her London flat aged 45 following a battle with a brain
tumour.
The socialite and former It girl was discovered at her apartment in
upmarket Bramham Gardens shortly before 2pm. She recently revealed she had been
receiving treatment for a growth in her pituitary gland.
Family friends the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall have said
they are 'deeply saddened', adding: 'Our thoughts are so much with the family'.
Her family and the royals had bonded on the slopes of the Alps, with her
father Charles teaching the Prince of Wales how to ski.
She would return to Switzerland with the royals throughout her life,
providing support to young princes William and Harry after the death of their
mother, Princess Diana.
Police say they are treating her death as 'unexplained' but not
suspicious. Her family have been informed.
Three months ago, the socialite said how she feared she was going to die
when doctors revealed she had a brain tumour.
She said she had received treatment for the non-malignant growth in her
pituitary gland since January 2016 and said at the time that it had cleared.
She said in November: 'I went to the doctors to talk about my latest
blood test results when I got back from skiing in January. I said: 'What does
this mean? Can you translate it?' And the doctor said: 'As I suspected, you
have a brain tumour'.
'I got terribly frightened. I started thinking, I'm going to die, I'm
going to die. I've only got a couple of weeks to live. Stuff like that.'
Really sad to know,May GOD grant her eternal rest...I hope she didn't commit suicide????
