Police Sergeant Richard Fuller worked as the head of security for Camilla – who is married to Britain’s Prince Charles – and suffered from stress at work causing him to believe he was “losing control” according to coroner David Masters.

The 55-year-old officer “clearly suffered from stress”, the inquest heard, but gave no indication of his intention to take his own life to his 45-year-old wife Jill, to who he was married for 20 years.

Jill, who left the house two weeks before Richard’s suicide following a series of violent arguments, received a text message from Richard saying he “couldn’t live without her”, but says: “The message was the only indication I had of what he was going to do.”

The inquest ruled Richard’s death was due to suicide.
