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, Buckingham Palace sources say.
Edward Pettifer, 31 – who was named by the Metropolitan Police on Saturday morning – is believed to be the stepson of Alexandra Pettifer, known as Tiggy, who looked after Prince William and Prince Harry when they were children.
Palaces sources have told the BBC the King has been in touch with Mr Pettifer’s family to share his personal condolences.
In a tribute, Mr Pettifer’s family described him as a “wonderful son, brother, grandson, nephew and friend to so many”.
