A Beloved Royal Godson Has Died Following a Head Injury

Buckingham Palace exterior on a cloudy day.

Queen Elizabeth served as a royal godmother to a whopping 30 people during her lifetime, and on Wednesday, April 2, it was announced that her third godchild has died. Lord Charles O'Hagan, a former Tory peer, passed away at the age of 79 on March 23 after suffering a subdural hematoma, per reports.

O'Hagan "had a history of falls and states of confusion," according to the Sun. Born in 1945, he was the 4th Baron O'Hagan and became Queen Elizabeth's godson when she was still a princess. The former politician was educated at Eton College, like Prince William and Prince Harry, and he went on to attend the University of Oxford. O'Hagan resided in the village of Beaford, near Winkleigh, Devon.
