The former It girl – Santa’s younger sister – was found dead, aged 45, at her London home on Wednesday just months after revealing she had been diagnosed with a brain tumour.In November, Tara said she was being treated for the non-malignant growth in her pituitary gland and had expressed fears that she would die after being told of her condition.She was diagnosed with the tumour last January after she returned from a ski trip and was also suffering with an auto-immune disease which had caused tiredness, joint pain and acute anaemia.
Following her death, Tara’s close friends the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall were among the first to pay tribute.The royal couple said they were “deeply saddened and our thoughts are so much with the family” shortly after the news broke.
