ara Palmer Tomkinson has been found dead in her London flat aged 45 following a battle with a brain tumour.
The socialite, former It girl and god-daughter of Prince Charles had been receiving treatment for a growth in her pituitary gland.
The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall have said they are 'deeply saddened and our thoughts are so much with the family'.
Police were called to her flat near Earl's Court shortly before 2pm this afternoon and found the former model dead. They say they are treating the death as 'unexplained' but not suspicious. Her family have been informed.
Tributes have poured in from the world of showbiz, with Piers Morgan hailing her as a 'fun, feisty woman who battled many demons'.
Three months ago, the socialite told the Daily Mail how she feared she was going to die when doctors revealed she had a brain tumour.
She said she had received treatment for the non-malignant growth in her pituitary gland since January 2016 and said at the time that it had cleared.
She told the Mail in November: 'I went to the doctors to talk about my latest blood test results when I got back from skiing in January. I said: 'What does this mean? Can you translate it?' And the doctor said: 'As I suspected, you have a brain tumour'.
'I got terribly frightened. I started thinking, I'm going to die, I'm going to die. I've only got a couple of weeks to live. Stuff like that.'
The former I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here! contestant, who has battled drug problems in the past, also said blood tests found she was suffering with an auto-immune disease which had caused tiredness, joint pain and acute anaemia.
Piers Morgan led a host of celebrity tributes to the 45-year-old. He wrote on Twitter: 'RIP Tara Palmer Tomkinson, 45. A fun, feisty woman who battled many demons. Very sad news.'
Grant Harrold, aide to Royals & former Butler to TRH Princes Charles, William & Henry also paid his respects.
He wrote: 'I am deeply shocked & saddened to hear Tara Palmer-Tomkinson has died. I was lucky enough to have met her and know her family. A lovely Lady.'
Tara's former I'm A Celeb co-star Darren Day wrote: 'I'm so sad to hear that Tara Palmer-Tomkinson has passed away. Thoughts and love to her family RIP Tara x.'
