Kate Middleton and Prince William ‘shocked’ to learn of death of loved one in New Orleans attack

Kate Middleton, Prince William and King Charles III revealed their shock and sadness that someone close to them was killed in the New Orleans terrorist attack on New Years’ Eve, when a man drove into civilians and murdered 14 people.

One of those people is Edward Pettifer, the 31-year-old stepson of a Royal Family nanny, who was killed when the American-born Shamsud-Din Jabbar drove a rental pick-up truck into crowds of people.

London’s Metropolitan Police are helping Legge-Bourke and her family through the tragedy and the return of Pettifer’s body to the United Kingdom for funeral services. Prince Harry will not publicly comment on the matter.

News of Pettifer’s death reached the senior members of the Royals in the United Kingdom and they began their consolation of the family, with King Charles III making a phone call to them whilst the Prince and Princess of Wales opted to make an emotional statement.

He had served in the United States Army before becoming a terrorist, and was carrying an ISIS flag on the vehicle at the time.

Is New Orleans connected to Las Vegas?

The attack came minutes after Jabbar posted pro-ISIS and Islamist content to Facebook, before being shot dead by police at the scene. Investigators later found improvised explosive devices in the area and guns.
