She was found by her mum and sister after she had been packing to go away with friends.
A firearm was found close to her at the property in Norton, near Malmesbury, Wilts.
An inquest was opened at Wiltshire and Swindon coroner’s court and adjourned until October 25.
Area coroner Grant Davies said police “have deemed the death as non-suspicious and there was no third-party involvement”.
Rosie had been studying English Literature at Durham University.
A spokeswoman said she “will be sorely missed”.
It come after Thomas Kingston, husband of Harry and William’s cousin Lady Gabriella Kingston, died from a head injury, with a gun found nearby, in February 2024.
Katy Skerrett, senior coroner for Gloucestershire, had recorded a narrative verdict and said Mr Kingston had taken his own life.
Both Rosie’s family and a spokesman for Prince William declined to comment last night.

You’re Not Alone
EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide
It doesn’t discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society – from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.
It’s the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.
And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.
Yet it’s rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.
That is why The Sun launched the You’re Not Alone campaign.
The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives.
Let’s all vow to ask for help when we need it, and listen out for others… You’re Not Alone.
If you, or anyone you know, needs help dealing with mental health problems, the following organisations provide support:
