The stepfather of Prince Harry’s girlfriend Cressida Bonas has died suddenly in what friends say was a suspected suicide.

Christopher Shaw, the one-time merchant banker, who wed Cressida’s mother, Lady Mary Gaye Curzon, during the Nineties at a time when he was one of London’s most lavish and generous party-throwers, is believed to have killed himself.

Shaw, 76, was suffering from ill-health and was said by friends to have been plagued by money worries.

Shaw was found dead by his housekeeper, Nicky, at his rented home in The Close by Salisbury Cathedral — virtually next door to Sir Edward Heath’s former home.

He is believed to have committed suicide by taking an overdose,friends said today.

Despite his financial problems Christopher, who celebrated his 76th birthday on New Year’s Day, had been in good spirits having just returned from a holiday in Cuba with the latest woman in his life.

He was on medication for chronic kidney disease and friends say he had been told two years ago he might have only 18 months to live.

Police were called to the house on Friday. A post mortem is to be carried out, but last night Wiltshire police said there were no suspicious circumstances.

• Armed officers are guarding him amid fears he was deliberately targeted

• Car dealer says he tried to sell Range Rover for a quarter of its value

Police are keen to interview a city trader dubbed the ‘Wolf of Shenfield’ as soon as he recovers after being shot in the leg while on his way to work, officers said today.

Robin Clark, who is believed to have been suffering from money problems before he was targeted by an unknown gunman last week, is currently under armed guard in hospital as he is treated for a serious leg injury.

The 44-year-old was shot by a man in a balaclava as he got out of his car at Shenfield railway station in Essex at around 5.45am on Friday.

Police have still made no arrests in the case four days later, and have been unable to talk to Mr Clark about the incident due to his serious injuries.

Mr Clark posted a number of Twitter messages referencing his problems during the past year, including: ‘Thinking about what might have been is just time wasted. Get up move on and be excellent, learn from mistakes don’t wallow in regret.’

In another he wrote: ‘Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we’re here we should dance!’ He also tweeted: ‘Lots of people drink Champagne bought on credit … Bad business short term and dangerous.’

Mr Clark works as a euro derivatives trader at RP Martin, a brokerage firm in the City of London.

He is reportedly known as the Wolf of Shenfield – after the recent Leonardo DiCaprio film The Wolf of Wall Street – because of his playboy lifestyle.
