Palmerston, one of the UK’s top diplocats, dies in Bermuda

Palmerston, the black and white feline who rose from the streets of London to the hallowed halls of Britain’s Foreign Office, has died in Bermuda, London’s foreign ministry said Monday.

The former ‘Chief Mouser’ of the Foreign Office retired from Whitehall in 2020 but returned to the spotlight in 2025 when he joined the new Governor of Bermuda Andrew Murdoch in the overseas territory, according to an Instagram post.

The cat’s X account said the “diplocat extraordinaire” passed peacefully on February 12.

Affectionately known as ‘Palmy,’ the feline was a “special member of the Government House team in Bermuda, and a much loved family member,” the post said.
