Mourning for Prince Harry who has lost her godmother Lady Celia Vestey. A close friend of Queen Elizabeth, Lady Celia died suddenly at the age of 71.
To announce the disappearance was the family through the Daily Telegraph where we read that she died suddenly “but peacefully on November 28, at the age of 71”. “Sam’s adored wife, much loved mother of William, Arthur and Mary and grandmother of Ella, Frankie, Sam and Cosima. The funeral will be held privately “. The family specifies not to send flowers, but to welcome donations in memory of the deceased.
Harry learned of the disappearance of his godmother he personally phoned his children to make his condolences, as reported by the Sun. The Prince, as is known, now lives in Los Angeles and in any case could not have attended the funeral. A difficult time for Harry, also in view of the pain he felt last July for natural abortion of Meghan Markle who caused the loss of their second child.
Lady Celia was one of six godparents chosen by Charles and Diana for Harry’s baptism. According to rumors her appointment as godmother caused a family quarrel, because Princess Anna, Charles’s sister, was not chosen. He also attended the Prince’s confirmation in 2000 where he posed in an official photo with Charles, William and other guests. He was also present at the wedding of Harry and Meghan Markle in 2018.
Lady Vestey’s husband, Lord Samuel Vestey, served as Master of the Horse at the Royal Household, from 1999 to 2018 and was appointed Lord in waiting by the Queen in 2019. Lady Celia was Elizabeth’s close friend, often joining she and the rest of the Royal Family also on public occasions.
