Captain Ian Farquhar, a friend of King Charles who enjoyed a lifetime of close-knit links with the Royal Family, has died at his home on King Charles' Highgrove Estate the age of 78
King Charles's close friend, Captain Ian Farquhar, has sadly passed away at the age of 78. He was a skilled huntsman and died at King Charles's Highgrove Estate.
He became good friends with the King when Prince William briefly dated his daughter, Rose Farquhar, after he finished his A-levels at Eton College in 2000. As well as this, Captain Farquhar was Master of the Beaufort Hunt for 34 years. This hunt is the oldest and largest fox hunt in the West Country.
"'Captain' as he was known by many was loved and cherished by the entire hunting community, as someone who was supportive, kind and always there with excellent forward thinking advice for anyone who asked him.' Despite battling cancer, King Charles has been spotted back at work this week as Buckingham Palace released photos of him holding a pre-budget meeting with Chancellor of the Exchequer, Jeremy Hunt. He was also pictured warmly greeting ambassadors and carrying out a virtual meeting with Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau.
