Naomi Watts is mourning the loss of her beloved grandmother, who passed away at the remarkable age of 101. The Watcher star shared the heartbreaking news with her followers on Instagram early Monday morning, accompanied by a touching gallery of photos that celebrated her grandmother’s incredible life.
In one poignant image, Naomi’s grandmother proudly holds a telegram from King Charles, a rare honor sent to mark her 100th birthday. Other snapshots show family moments filled with love and joy, including scenes from her grandmother’s centennial celebration, surrounded by loved ones. Naomi’s heartfelt tribute began with her characteristic warmth and affection:
“Our Granny Watts made it to 101 and a half,” she wrote. “She got her letter from the King to celebrate her century. Last night she rested in peace. RIP,” she added, alongside a pink heart emoji.
This loss comes just months after Naomi said goodbye to another cherished grandparent. In August, Naomi revealed that her maternal grandmother, Nikki Roberts, had passed away at the age of 99, shortly after suffering a stroke.
At the time, Naomi shared a deeply personal tribute, reflecting on the profound impact her grandmother had on her life. Her words painted a picture of a woman whose strength, humor, and love of family left an indelible mark.
“My darling Nanna has left this world, but her spirit will never leave us,” Naomi wrote in her moving post. “I’m truly blessed to have had the most wonderful relationship with her. She is such a huge part of who I am: her core values, her work ethic, and her mischievous humor and joy of life.”
Naomi, who shares two children with her former husband, Liev Schreiber, spoke candidly about the emotional weight her family has carried in recent months, particularly her mother and aunts, who were deeply affected by Nikki’s passing.
