Charles Villiers, from East Lothian, is a distant cousin of a Camilla, with the news of his death confirmed this week by police in London. Discovered by a housekeeper working for the Durrants Hotel in Marleybone, emergency services had raced to the exclusive hotel on Thursday, August 18.
Believed to have taken his own life, the 59-year-old was known to have been part of a long-running divorce with his former wife Emma Villiers, that saw a huge legal battle take place.
