In a short statement, Zee said: “This decision was not taken lightly, but I felt it was necessary in order to focus on my own mental health and wellbeing.
“I would like to thank all the students who have positively engaged with me, and my fellow sabbatical officers for their support, during my time in office.
“Royal Holloway will always have a special place in my heart, and I would like to thank the College for the opportunities it has provided me with.”
