It is understood that Mr Dhillon died while on a trip to India earlier this week. The close friend of King Chalrles III, as well as his two sons Prince William and Prince Harry, was 72-years-old.
In 2009, the polo-playing friend was at the centre of a race row, after it emerged that Charles had given his friend a “distasteful” nickname.
Charles reportedly referred to Mr Dhillon as ‘Sooty’, which, himself, he claimed to hold no offence to, was deemed “unacceptable”.
Mr Dhillon served as chairman of the Cirencester Park Polo Club, which is close to Highgrove, and was friends with Charles and his sons.
