Prince William expressed sorrow after Ed Pettifer, 31, was killed in the New Year’s Day terrorist attack in New Orleans.
Turns out that he was the stepson of his former nanny.
“Catherine and I have been shocked and saddened by the tragic death of Ed Pettifer,” William wrote.
Pettifer, a London resident, was visiting Louisiana when he became a victim of the attack, which has drawn international attention.
From London to New Orleans on the very spot where a terrorist would attack. What are the chances?
It’s very sad.
It’s also frustrating that these sort of attackers don’t ever seem to live long enough to face justice in courts.

Lots of questions around this attack.
First it wasn’t a terrorist attack:
