King Charles is mourning the loss of Edward Pettifer, who was killed in a tragic terror attack in New Orleans
New Orleans: It’s a tough time for King Charles. He’s feeling pretty down after hearing about the tragic death of Edward Pettifer, a Brit who was close to the Royal Family. Edward was killed in a terror attack on New Year’s Day.
Edward, just 31, was the stepson of Tiggy Legge-Bourke, who used to be a nanny for Princes William and Harry. It’s heartbreaking to think about how this all unfolded. He was visiting Louisiana with a friend when a crazed gunman drove a pickup truck into a crowd on Bourbon Street.
His family is absolutely devastated. They shared a touching tribute, calling him a “wonderful son, brother, grandson, nephew, and friend.” It’s clear he meant a lot to so many people.
King Charles has been in touch with Edward’s family since the news broke. He and Tiggy have a long history, and she was a significant figure in the boys’ lives, especially after Princess Diana’s passing.
It’s just so sad to see lives cut short like this. The world feels a little heavier today.
