Duchess of Cornwall's brother dies
Conservationist Mark Shand has died after sustaining a serious head injury. Brother to the Duchess of Cornwall, Mr Shand was injured in a fall in New York.
He was chairman of The Elephant Family, a charity to protect Asian elephants and their habitat. The charity says he was "a true force for conservation…both a legend and inspiration and above all our great friend."
According to a statement from Clarence House, the Duchess, Prince of Wales and family are "utterly devastated" by the tragic loss.
"Mark Shand was a man of extraordinary vitality," the statement reads. "A tireless campaigner and conservationist whose incredible work through The Elephant Family and beyond remained his focus right up until his death."
