Heartbreak for Harry and William

Today, we mourn the loss of a true pillar of strength – Lord Robert Fellowes, the beloved uncle of Prince Harry and Prince William. With heavy hearts, we remember the remarkable legacy he leaves behind.

A Trusted Advisor and a Beacon of Support
In times of turmoil and challenges, Lord Robert Fellowes proved to be an unwavering source of support for the royal family. Not only was he married to Jane Fellowes, but he also served as the late Queen’s private secretary from 1990 to 1999.

During the tumultuous year of 1992, often referred to as the “annus horribilis” for the royal family, Lord Robert stood by the Queen’s side, providing invaluable guidance and strength. From Prince Charles’s troubled marriage to Prince Andrew’s breakup and the devastating fire at Windsor Castle, Lord Robert remained a loyal and trusted advisor.

A Life of Service and Dedication
Born in 1941 at Sandringham House in Norfolk, Lord Robert Fellowes dedicated his life to service. After attending Eton College, he joined the Scots Guards in 1960 and later pursued a career in banking. His commitment to duty led him to the Royal Household, where he began as an Assistant Private Secretary in 1977. Over the years, he worked his way up to become Deputy Private Secretary and eventually Private Secretary, a position he held for an impressive 20 years. Lord Robert’s unwavering dedication was recognized by Queen Elizabeth II, who honored him with the Royal Household Long and Faithful Service Medal.

A Loving Husband and Devoted Father
Lord Robert Fellowes was not only a figure of great importance within the royal family but also a loving husband and devoted father. His marriage to Lady Jane Fellowes at Westminster Abbey in 1978 was a joyful occasion.

Lady Jane’s sister, Diana Spencer, who later became Princess Diana, served as a bridesmaid, creating a memorable moment for all. Lord Robert and Lady Jane welcomed three children into their lives: Eleanor Ruth Fellowes, Alexander Robert Fellowes, and Laura Jane Fellowes. Through life’s ups and downs, their family remained a source of strength and support.

Fond Remembrances of Princess Diana
The tragic death of Princess Diana in 1997 deeply affected the royal family, and Lord Robert Fellowes was no exception. In an interview with The Telegraph, he spoke fondly of her remarkable personality and expressed empathy for the challenges she faced.

Lord Robert understood that happiness can sometimes elude those who face such difficulties, leaving a lasting impression of compassion and understanding.

Honoring Lord Robert Fellowes’ Legacy
As we bid farewell to Lord Robert Fellowes, we reflect on the profound impact he had on the royal family and beyond. His unwavering loyalty, kindness, and commitment to service will forever be remembered. He leaves behind a legacy of love and support that touched the lives of those around him. May his soul rest in eternal peace.
