Mark Phillips's sister dies suddenly aged 63


After the joyful christening of Zara Phillips’s daughter Mia late last month, the Queen’s granddaughter has received some sad news: her aunt Sarah Staples has died at the age of 63.

‘She died suddenly,’ says a friend of the family. ‘It is very sad.’
Sarah was the only sister of Zara’s father, Captain Mark Phillips, who divorced Princess Anne in 1992 when Zara was ten and her brother Peter was 14.
