Edward Pettifer, a 31-year-old British man, was killed in a terror attack in New Orleans on New Year's Day. He was the stepson of Tiggy Legge-Bourke, the former nanny of Prince William and Prince Harry.
Edward Pettifer, a 31-year-old British man from Chelsea, west London, was tragically killed in the New Orleans terror attack on New Year's Day. Edward, known as Ed to his loved ones, was the stepson of Prince William and Harry's former nanny, Tiggy Legge-Bourke. His father, Charles Pettifer, a former Coldstream Guards officer, married Tiggy after his relationship ended with Ed's mother, Camilla Wyatt, the daughter of a racehorse breeder.
Ed, who is believed to have attended the prestigious Stowe School in Buckinghamshire, lived in Chelsea with his mum and younger brother, Harry, 29. In a heart-wrenching statement, his family described him as 'a wonderful son, brother, grandson, nephew and a friend to so many.' They added: 'We will all miss him terribly. Our thoughts are with the other families who have lost their family members due to this terrible attack. We request that we can grieve the loss of Ed as a family in private.' Ms Legge-Bourke, who reportedly offered valuable support to William and Harry after the sudden and tragic death of their mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, and was nanny to the princes from 1993 until 1999, was also a godmother to Edward. Alexandra 'Tiggy' Legge-Bourke had close ties to the Royal Family before she worked for Prince Charles and Princess Diana as a nanny. Her father had served in the Royal Horse Guards and her mother was a lady-in-waiting to Princess Anne. Her brother, Harry Legge-Bourke, meanwhile, had been Page of Honour to the Queen Elizabeth II. Following their marriage, Charles Pettifer and Tiggy Legge-Bourke went on to welcome two sons, 22-year-old Tom, who is Prince William's godson and Fred, 23, who is Prince Harry's godson. The 59-year-old former nanny now runs a bed and breakfast from the family's 6,000-acre country estate near Crickhowell, Wales, the Telegraph report
