Royal Death: Camilla Mourns After Relative's Untimely Passing
Camilla was left heartbroken after a family member passed away recently.
Royal commentator Cameron Walker recently reported that the Duchess of Cornwall is dealing with extreme sadness after receiving death news this week.
GB News first reported that Baroness Elspeth Howe, Camilla's half-aunt, died at the age of 90.
"The Duchess of Cornwall said it was 'a sad time for all the family. Lady Howe was Camilla's half-aunt and the duchess is understood to have thought Lady Howe a remarkable woman who did so much for her country," Walker said.
Baroness Howe of Idlicote CBE's family confirmed that she died after a battle with cancer. They did not disclose what type of cancer she suffered from.
The family said they would release further details about her funeral in the next few days, but they are currently taking their time to remember her life and contribution to the country.
RIP, Baroness Elspeth Howe
Baroness Howe, the wife of late former chancellor Lord Howe, left her family devastated. Following her passing, her loved ones shared how much they would miss her and her charitable works that helped a lot of people.
"She will be missed intensely by her whole family and many friends. We are immensely proud of her many achievements, especially her championing of the causes close to her heart which she supported so effectively during her remarkable lifetime," the family statement said.
Before her death, Baroness Howe served the Houses of Parliament alongside her husband for several decades. At the same time, she worked as the deputy chairman of the Equal Opportunities Commission from 1975 to 1979.
Years after, she was appointed the Chair of the Broadcasting Standards Commission. She ended her career when she retired in 2020.
Her colleagues, including broadcaster Alastair Stewart and Elaine Mitchell, remembered her life and called her "strong, capable, and good company." In her profile in The Independent, she was called a "Tory feminist" who focused on working on the homelessness of people. She also fought for the protection of children from several issues, including gambling and the internet sexual abuse.
Baroness Howe's death occurred during Prince Charles and Camilla's historic visit to Cookstown, a small town in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. They officially became the first members of the royal family to get to the place.
After their royal engagement in the town, they began their second day of visits to CS Lewis Square in Belfast.
