Cressida Bonas' step-father died of a drug overdose.
Christopher Shaw was found dead at his rented home in Wiltshire in January and toxicology tests have now revealed the former banker's death was caused by an overdose on prescription pills.
Friends and family of Christopher, 76, were left devastated by his passing and faced several agonising weeks to find out how he died.
An inquest in Salisbury, Wiltshire, was told a post mortem examination had shown his death was not natural and he was found dead at the scene by his housekeeper Nicola Smith.
Christopher - who was once known for his millionaire lifestyle - was reportedly struggling with financial problems, but appeared to be in good spirits in the days leading up to his death as he had just returned from a holiday in Cuba.
He began dating Cressida's mother Lady Mary Gaye Curzon in 1994 and the pair were together for six years - four years as a married couple - before they divorced in 2000.
A friend said previously: "Cressida was five when they got together and 11 when it all went wrong so Christopher would have been a strong presence in her childhood life."

Britain's Prince Harry's girlfriend has moved into a flat near him.
Cressida Bonas has found herself a swanky apartment in Shepherd's Bush, near Kensington, in London so she can be closer to her beau, who resides at Kensington Palace.
A source told HELLO! magazine: "Cress loves the area and likes to go to the Havelock Tavern, which is the actress Carey Mulligan's local.
"She and her friend Daisy have been hunting for somewhere nice and cheap but also close to Kensington Palace. Kensington is far too expensive, so she went for the closest area that was affordable.
"It's just two stops [on the tube] from Notting Hill Gate, which is the station she uses when she goes to see Harry."
Meanwhile, the 30-year-old royal has been smitten with Cressida, 25, since they began dating almost two years ago, but a friend of the socialite claims she won't be moving in with Harry any time soon.
The source said: "[Cressida] has no intention of living with Harry just yet, despite what people have been saying."
However, it seems the pair are keen to step their relationship up to the next level after rumours began to swirl recently, which suggested Harry was gearing up to pop the question to his lover.
A source said previously: "First he needs to go through certain royal protocols, such as asking his grandmother's permission."

Britain's Sarah Ferguson thinks her and ex-husband Prince Andrew could be the "happiest divorced couple in the world".
The Duchess of York, who has two children with Andrew, Beatrice, 26, and Eugenie, 24, divorced the 54-year-old royal in 1996 after ten years of marriage but insists they have remained "loyal" to each other.
Talking about recent rumours they could be set to re-marry, Sarah said: "I think the rumours have been there for 20 years. We live in a world where everybody believes in fairytales and they need the inspiration of fairytales.
"I believe this modern-day fairytale at this moment is in the most perfect place because Prince Andrew and I have two of the most outstanding girls, we communicate better than ever and we show great respect and loyalty to each other."
She added to HELLO! Magazine: "So, therefore, I think that we are in the right place right now."
The 54-year-old royal was reportedly reluctant to split from Andrew but said they have remained loyal to each other "through thick and thin".
She continued: "From the day we got married to now, we've always upheld the same belief in each other. We are trailblazing on being the happiest divorced couple in the world. It is unusual, but we are unusual."
Sarah is currently single, while Andrew has been linked to George Clooney's ex-girlfriend, model Monika Jakisic, but the duchess isn't desperate to find a partner.
She added: "I can't really answer questions about the future because I live so much in the present, for the excitement of today."

A fraudster has conned a man out of £23,000 after he posed as Britain's Prince Harry on Facebook.
The conman promised a workman a multi-million pound contract to renovate the parquet floors at Buckingham Palace in London.
As part of the deal, he told the floorfitter, who is from Austria, to transfer £23,000 into several UK bank accounts, claiming it was a 'necessary' step in order to set up a British business.
However, after transferring the money and not hearing back from the online account with the username Prince Harry, the workman contacted the Austrian police on Friday (14.03.14).
The victim paid €2,500 into a Lloyds TSB bank account, before being told to pay a "security deposit" of €22,000 and then a final installment of €3,000.
The authorities in Burgenland, Austria, have since told the man that his chances of recovering his money are very "slim".
Meanwhile, this isn't the first time the 30-year-old royal has fallen victim to identity theft as in 2010 another conman posed as the flame-haired Prince and tricked 20 woman into transferring money into a West Africa bank account..
The conman asked the ladies, from the US, to donate cash, claiming the money was going to a charity working with orphans in Africa.

Britain's Sarah Ferguson felt like she was "drowning in food" before she lost 42lbs.
The Duchess of York decided to drop the extra pounds after realising she was close to the weight she was when she was heavily pregnant with her first child Princess Beatrice 25 years ago.
She told HELLO! magazine: "Beatrice was an 8lb 8oz baby and I was only 6lb off my full-blown pregnancy weight. I decided to make a change. I used to be so angry - I believed that I had lost control. I couldn't fit into any of my clothes.
"I was just drowning in eating, drowning in food. It took courage to go out in public in all the years I have been overweight."
The 54-year-old royal - who was 224 pounds at her heaviest - took part in a gruelling daily boot camp session on a Swiss mountain resort, and managed to drop the weight in just five months.
She has also cut out sugar and maintained a healthy diet.
Meanwhile, the flame-haired beauty - who was once an ambassador for Weight Watchers - has become an official envoy for the Institute of Global Health Innovation at Imperial College London.
She said: "I want to help combat obesity."

George Michael thinks Britain's Duchess Catherine is "stronger" than the late Princess Diana.
The 50-year-old singer believes Catherine, 32, will be able to deal with the "lunacy" of fame better than her husband Prince William's mother, who died in a car crash in France in 1997.
George - who was friends with Diana - said: "I think Diana would have been incredibly happy for William and Kate.
"And I think she'd also be really, really pleased that William has met and fallen in love with someone who has the strength of character to be able to deal with the sorts of things that she couldn't."
The 'I Can't Make You Love Me' hitmaker sympathises with the royal couple - who got married in 2011 - as he understands what it's like to be judged on a daily basis and admits it almost sent him mad.
He explained to the Daily Star newspaper: "I do know just how challenging and exacting that level of fame can be.
"It's like living in a goldfish bowl. Sometimes, especially during the Faith years, I felt close to lunacy."
Meanwhile, Prince William and Duchess Catherine - who was known as Kate Middleton before she married William three years ago - now have an eight-month-old son Prince George together.
