The Prince of Wales has spoken of his "immense sadness" over the death of a young Army medic who had become a TikTok star.

Corporal Lucy Wilde, who shared videos documenting her daily life, was found dead in her barracks in Warminster, Wiltshire, on 5 February. The Ministry of Defence said an investigation was under way.

Prince William said Wilde's "warmth and compassion were unmistakable" when he met her while she was serving with the Welsh Guards in March 2024.

"She served with courage and distinction as a medic and sought always to help others," he said in a statement on social media.

It added: "I send my heartfelt condolences to her family and friends.

"Colonel William."

In a statement, Wilde's brother Josh described her as "strength wrapped in softness", adding that she had served in the Army with "courage and pride" and "lived with resilience".

"She adored long walks with her dog, the peace of nature, books that transported her, and the sense of freedom found outdoors," he also said.

"She had a warmth and loyalty that was rare. A heart that gave even when she had been hurt."

After joining the Army eight years ago, Wilde was with the Welsh Guards until December 2025 before moving to the Royal Yorkshire Regiment.

In a lengthy tribute, the Welsh Guards said she had "a rare ability to lift those around her" and her loss would be felt "across the battalion and far beyond".

Her former regiment highlighted her bravery when she attended an incident in the Falkland Islands which saw  vehicle overturning and leaving multiple Welsh Guards injured. She received a commendation.

"Lucy was first on the scene and worked relentlessly to treat casualties and ensure every guardsman was accounted for and safe," the regiment said.

"Her actions that day were nothing short of outstanding, and she was rightly commended for her courage and professionalism."
