Royals & Nobles Who Died Young

[Stefanie]

Lady Leonora Knatchbull passed away of kidney cancer at the age of six in 1991.
I think her grandfather was Lord Mountbattan of Burma who was killed by a Terrorist bomb Attac in 1979.

We can also add princess Leila Pahlavi, daughter of the last Shah of Iran, who died at age of 31.

And her brother, Prince Ali Reza, was just 44 when he died in 2011.

Lord Leopold Mountbatten (a haemophiliac and the second son of Princess Beatrice, the youngest child of Queen Victoria and her husband Prince Henry of Battenberg) died at the age of 32 after undergoing a hip operation in 1922 at Kensington Palace. That was a perilous procedure for a haemophiliac especially in those days.
