The body, which was found in the Round Pond, was originally misidentified as being that of artist Endellion Lycett Green – granddaughter of poet laureate Sir John Betjeman. The 51-year-old artist had been missing for a week. The police were searching in the grounds of the London palace for her when they came across the corpse of another woman.

According to the Daily Mail, Green's relatives were wrongly informed of her passing, but then she was found alive and well – much to the relief of her loved ones. The identity of the dead woman has not been confirmed.

In a message quoted by the Daily Mail, her brother John Lycett Green shared his gratitude and relief:

"Thank you all for the support and love you showed for Delli and her family. Sorry to all of you that, like us, were grieving for the wonder that is Delli. We were told a body was found and was her. It was not, and Delli was found last night."

The incident took place while the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their three young children were in Balmoral, Scotland, visiting the Queen. Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank also live at Ivy Cottage within the palace grounds, as well as many other royals.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, a Scotland Yard spokesperson stated: "The death is being treated as unexplained at this time, but is not thought to be suspicious."
