Prince William has expressed his shock and sadness at the tragic death of Ed Pettifer, whose loss occurred during a recent terror attack in New Orleans.
The attack resulted in the deaths of 14 individuals, with Pettifer being the final victim to be identified.
Pettifer was the stepson of Tiggy Legge-Bourke, who served as a nanny for both William and Prince Harry.
His family released a heartfelt statement saying they were “devastated at the tragic news” and emphasized the loss felt by all families affected by the attack.
Authorities confirmed that Shamsud-Din Jabbar, responsible for the attack, was shot dead by police at the scene.

On Saturday, Prince William took to social media to convey his condolences, stating, "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."
