King Charles is deeply saddened by the death of a Briton who died in a car attack in New Orleans on New Year’s Day, palace sources said.
Edward Pettyfer, 31, who was among the 14 killed in the attack, is believed to be the stepson of Alexandra Pettyfer, known as Tiggy, who looked after Princes William and Harry when they were children.
The king has contacted Mr Pettyfer’s family to offer his personal condolences, palace sources told the BBC.
In a tribute, Mr Pettifer’s family called him a “wonderful son, brother, grandson, nephew and friend to many”.
