Prince William expresses deep sorrow over the tragic death of Edward Pettifer in a New Orleans vehicle attack
New Orleans: The Prince of Wales was really taken aback by the tragic news about his former nanny’s stepson, Edward Pettifer. He was killed in a vehicle attack on Bourbon Street during New Year’s celebrations. The police confirmed that Edward, who was just 31, lost his life in this horrific incident.
It’s heartbreaking to hear that 14 people died and many more were hurt when a guy named Shamsud-Din Jabbar drove his truck into a crowd. It’s just so senseless. William shared his condolences on social media, saying he and Catherine were deeply saddened by Ed’s death.
Edward was the stepson of Tiggy Legge-Bourke, who used to look after William and Harry when they were kids. His family is absolutely devastated and has asked for privacy to grieve. They described him as a wonderful son and friend, and it’s clear he was loved by many.
The coroner said he died from blunt force injuries, which is just awful. The police are supporting the family as they work on bringing his body back to the UK. It’s a tough time for everyone involved, and our thoughts are with them.
In the midst of all this, it was reported that the attacker had some links to extremist groups, which adds another layer of tragedy to this whole situation. It’s just so sad to see lives lost in such a violent way.
