New Orleans: Prince William is feeling pretty shaken up after hearing about the death of Edward Pettifer, the stepson of his former nanny. Edward was tragically killed in a terror attack on New Year’s Day.
He was one of 14 people who lost their lives when a vehicle drove into a crowd celebrating the new year. Both Prince William and Kate shared their sadness over the loss of the 31-year-old.
Edward’s stepmom, Alexandra, used to care for young William and Harry back in the ’90s when she was known as Tiggy. It’s a small world, isn’t it?
In his statement, Prince William said, “Our thoughts and prayers remain with the Pettifer family and all those innocent people who have been tragically impacted by this horrific attack.”
Edward’s family has been paying tribute to him, calling him a “wonderful son, brother, grandson, nephew, and friend to many.” It’s just heartbreaking.
