The Prince of Wales has issued a heartfelt message after it emerged the Brit among those killed in New Orleans was his former nanny’s stepson.

Prince William has issued a touching message after it was revealed the British man among those killed in a New Year’s Day terror attack in New Orleans was the stepson of his and Prince Harry’s former nanny Tiggy Legge-Bourke, Edward Pettifer.

Prince William took to social media on Saturday afternoon to express his and Princess Kate’s sadness over the tragic news

In a personally signed post on X, William wrote: “Catherine and I have been shocked and saddened by the tragic death of Ed Pettifer. Our thoughts and prayers remain with the Pettifer family and all those innocent people who have been tragically impacted by this horrific attack. W.”

It is understood that King Charles has also been informed through official channels about Mr Pettifer’s death and is said to be deeply saddened over tragic news.

He is understood to have been in touch with the family to share personal condolences.

The 31-year-old was the eldest son of Charles Pettifer, a former Coldstream Guards officer, and Camilla Wyatt, the daughter of a racehorse breeder, according to The Telegraph.

His parents divorced in the 1990s and his father went on to marry Tiggy Legge-Bourke, also known as Alexandra Pettifer, who used to look after the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex from 1993 until 1999. The couple married in 1999, and both princes attended the wedding.

The New Orleans coroner gave Mr Pettifer’s preliminary cause of death as “blunt force injuries”.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed they were supporting the family of Mr Pettifer, of Chelsea, who was killed in the attack in Bourbon Street, Louisiana.

They also said that family liaison officers are helping them through the process of returning his body to the UK.
