The Prince of Wales has said he’s “shocked and saddened” to hear of the death of his former nanny’s stepson in the New Orleans terror attack.

In a personal statement issued on social media, the Prince said he was “deeply saddened” to hear of the death of Edward Pettifer, the stepson of his former nanny, Tiggy Legge-Bourke.

The statement said: “Catherine and I have been shocked and saddened by the tragic death of Ed Pettifer.

“Our thoughts and prayers remain with the Pettifer family and all those innocent people who have been tragically impacted by this horrific attack.”
