The world has lost a remarkable figure with the passing of Lord Robert Fellows on July 29.

At the age of 82, he left behind a legacy that intertwined with the British royal family in profound ways.

Serving as a private secretary to Queen Elizabeth II, Lord Fellows was not only a trusted advisor but also a man deeply connected to the heart of the monarchy.

His marriage to Lady Jane Fellows, the sister of the late Princess Diana, added another layer to his royal connections, making him an uncle to Prince William and Prince Harry.

This familial bond brought him closer to some of the most recognized names in the world, and it’s a testament to the unique tapestry of relationships that define the royal family.

As of now, the details surrounding Lord Fellows’ death remain unclear, with no official cause released and funeral arrangements still pending.

The Times published an obituary that hinted at undisclosed reasons for his passing, leaving many to reflect on the life he lived rather than the circumstances of his departure.

Charles Spencer, brother to the late Princess Diana, took to social media platform ex—formerly known as Twitter—to share his sorrow.

He described Lord Fellows as an “extraordinary brother-in-law” and a “true gentleman,” highlighting the qualities that endeared him to those who knew him best.

His heartfelt tribute painted a picture of a wise, humorous, and honest man, someone who carried immense pride in his family ties.

Lord Fellows married Lady Jane in April 1978, a wedding that notably featured Princess Diana as a bridesmaid.

Their union flourished into a family that includes three children: Laura Jane, 44, Alexander Robert, 41, and Eleanor Ruth, 38.

Notably, Eleanor serves as Princess Charlotte’s godmother, further intertwining the family’s legacy with the royal lineage.
