It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of Captain Ian Farquhar, a beloved friend of the king. At 78 years old, his presence in the royal circle will be sorely missed.
Ian had the privilege of knowing the King and Queen Camilla for many years and even worked as a rider for the Queen Mother. With his exceptional horse riding and hunting skills, he also served in the Queen’s Own Hussars.
This is another devastating blow for the King, who is already battling cancer. Just last week, we mourned the loss of Lord Rothschild, who was 87 years old.
