BBC

King Charles is deeply saddened by the death of a British man who was killed in the vehicle attack in New Orleans on New Year’s Day, palace sources say.

Edward Pettifer, 31, who was among 14 people killed in the attack, is believed to be the stepson of Alexandra Pettifer, known as Tiggy, who cared for Prince William and Prince Harry when they were children.

The King has been in touch with Mr Pettifer’s family to share his personal condolences, palace sources told the BBC.

In a tribute, Mr Pettifer’s family described him as a “wonderful son, brother, grandson, nephew and friend to so many”.
