prince william expressed condolences after learning his former nanny’s stepson, Ed Pettiferwas one of the victims in New Orleans attack on New Year’s Day.
“Catherine and I are shocked and saddened by the tragic death of Ed Pettfer,” William, 42, wrote in an Instagram Story statement on Saturday, Jan. 4, also mentioning his wife. Princess Kate Middleton. “Our thoughts and prayers remain with Pettifer’s family and all the innocent people tragically affected by this horrific attack.”
William signed the note “W”, his personal designation based on his first initial.
A 42-year-old man from Texas drove a rented truck through a crowd on New Orleans’ famous Bourbon Street on Wednesday, January 1. Pettifer, who was 31, was one of at least 14 victims. The driver was shot during a shootout with the police.
“The entire family is devastated by the tragic news of Ed’s death in New Orleans.” He was a wonderful son, brother, grandson, nephew and friend to so many.” Saturday statement from Pettifer’s family read, shared with London’s Metropolitan Police. “We will all miss him terribly.
The statement continued: “Our thoughts are with the other families who have lost family members to this terrible attack. We ask that we may mourn the loss of Ed as a family in private. Thank you.”
Pettifer was the stepson of Tiggy Legge-Bourke, who had previously worked as a nanny for William and his brother, prince harrywhen they were children. (William and Harry, 40, are the sons of ex King Charles III and late Princess Diana.)
(She was) our favorite nannyto be exact, although Tiggy hated being called that,” Harry remembered in his Spare a memoir. “She would bite the head off anyone who tried. “I’m not a babysitter, I’m your friend!” Unfortunately, mom didn’t see it that way. Mom didn’t see Tiggy as a babysitter, but as a rival. It is common knowledge that the mom suspected that Tiggy was being groomed as her future replacement. (Did Mom see Tiggy as her surrogate?)
As indicated in the passage, so does Harry named his 2023 memoir after he believed that he was the “remnant” in the line of succession to his brother William. William is the direct heir to his father Charles (75) as regent of England. Harry immediately followed until William and wife Kate, 42, welcomed their three children: Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6.
While Harry is now fifth in line to the British throne, he he retreated from his position as a senior working royal in 2020. Harry and his wife Meghan Markle they now live in Montecito, California with their two children, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3. Harry has yet to publicly address Pettifer’s death.
