Prince William, the Prince of Wales' friend has passed away.

Billionaire businessman Sunjay Kapur, pal of William and ex-husband of a famous Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor, died on Thursday, June 12.

Sunjay, who was 53, collapsed during a polo match, as reported by multiple outlets.

The chairman of global car parts giant Sona Comster, reportedly died from anaphylactic shock after being stung in the mouth during the polo match in Windsor.

An insider told the Mirror, "He was full of life, laughing, joking, then gone in an instant."

Meanwhile, a witness told The Telegraph that the friend of William admitted that "I’ve swallowed something."

"He will be greatly missed not only by his family and friends but the local community around his club as he employed so many people and made so many friends — he was fun, kind and generous. He didn’t distinguish between his grooms or high net worth friends — when he had a party, everyone was invited and everyone was equal," the other friend of Sunjay told the outlet.

It is worth mentioning that Sunjay Kapur often played with the members of the royal family, including the Prince of Wales.

Moreover, a statement from Sona Comster read, "We are deeply saddened by the sudden demise of our Chairman, Mr. Sunjay Kapur. He was a visionary leader whose passion, insight and dedication shaped the identity and success of our company."

The news of Sunjay Kapur’s passing comes as Prince William is busy preparing for the upcoming royal event, Trooping of the Colours parade, which is scheduled for June 14.
