In a world captivated by the news of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s passing on September 8, 2022, another member of the royal family quietly left this world.

While overshadowed by the global mourning for the Queen, the late monarch’s cousin, John Bowles-Lyon, also departed shortly after her.

This lesser-known event remained largely unknown, as the focus remained on the impending funeral of Queen Elizabeth.

According to a reputable magazine, John Bowles-Lyon passed away on September 18, 2022, only ten days after the Queen’s demise.

The Telegraph, a renowned news outlet, confirmed this news by publishing an obituary that stated, “John Francis died peacefully on September 18, 2022.

Much loved brother of Fiona and David.”

John’s father, Sir Francis Bowles-Lyon, had been Queen Elizabeth’s first cousin and had once served as a gentleman usher to the royal household.

Given the magnitude of Queen Elizabeth’s death, it was deemed inappropriate to announce John’s passing before the Queen’s funeral.

Thus, it was only after the state funeral of the beloved monarch that his death was made public.

The timing allowed the world to mourn the Queen without any additional distractions or disruptions.

While the world mourns the loss of Queen Elizabeth, it is essential to acknowledge the passing of those close to her, such as her cousin John Bowles-Lyon.
