British monarch shocked by tragedy in New Orleans and reaches out to grieving family.
Edward Pettifer, aged 31, has been confirmed by the Metropolitan Police as the victim of the horrific incident that unfolded on January 1. His connection to the royal family is poignant; he is the stepson of Alexandra Pettifer—fondly known as Tiggy—who played a significant role in the upbringing of Prince William and Prince Harry.
Sources from Buckingham Palace have revealed that King Charles was deeply affected by the news and reached out to Mr. Pettifer's family to express his condolences personally. In a heartfelt statement, the family of the late Edward described him affectionately as a "wonderful son, brother, grandson, nephew, and friend" to many.
The attack, which has cast a shadow over New Year festivities in the city, has generated widespread shock and mourning both locally and across the ocean in the UK.
