King Charles is heartbroken after the tragic death of a relative of his former nanny
New Orleans: The King is really upset about the tragic death of Edward Pettifer, who was killed in a vehicle attack on New Year’s Day. Edward was the stepson of Tiggy Legge-Bourke, the former nanny to Prince William and Prince Harry. The police confirmed that he was just 31 years old and from Chelsea.
In this awful incident, 14 people lost their lives, and many more were hurt when a man drove a truck into a crowd celebrating the New Year. The suspect, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, reportedly got out of the vehicle and fired a gun before being shot by the police. It’s just heartbreaking.
Edward’s family shared their grief, saying they are devastated by his loss. They described him as a wonderful son and friend, and they asked for privacy to mourn. The New Orleans coroner said he died from blunt force injuries, and the police are helping his family with the process of bringing his body back to the UK.
The attack happened in the French Quarter, a popular area for celebrations. The local mayor expressed that the victims and their families are important to the city. It’s believed the attacker acted alone, but the FBI found an Islamic State flag in his vehicle, which adds to the horror of the situation.
Leaders from various countries, including the UK, have condemned the attack. Prime Minister Keir Starmer called it horrific and extended his thoughts to the victims and their families. It’s a tough time for everyone affected by this tragedy.
