Narrative:
On a part 91 flight with 2 passengers during our initial descent between FL410-FL350 we encountered a right engine failure and cabin altitude light resulting in [immediate] descent and landing at ZZZ . At FL410 prior to descent and engine failure; engine heats were selected on for 20-30 minutes. In the descent we heard a loud bang from the right engine and experienced a significant bump in pressure +1900 on pressure meter a few seconds after that we had right engine T2 fail amber annunciator followed by a red right generator fail. The engine started to roll back causing the oil pressure; hydraulic and fuel low pressure annunciator to illuminate. We advised ATC at that point and diverted to ZZZ. As we turned toward ZZZ we started to initiate the engine failure checklist then our cabin altitude annunciator illuminated. We discontinued the engine failure checklist and had to do an [immediate] descent following memory action items and dropping masks. The cabin had climbed to 15;000 ft. Which caused [the] emergency pressure light to illuminate. Once we got below 10;000 cabin altitude light had gone out. ZZZ had given us vectors for a visual approach to [the runway]. We then proceeded to run the engine failure checklist. We saw that there was still N1 rotation so we decided to do a restart. The restart was successful and we landed.
