The 31-year-old's cause of death was concluded by the New Orleans coroner as blunt force injuries following the incident on Bourbon Street in the French Quarter. Edward and 13 others were killed - and dozens injured - after army veteran Shamsud Din Jabbar rammed his rental truck through throngs of people who stood in the heart of the Louisiana city.

His stepmother Ms Legge-Bourke was a nanny to Prince William and Harry between 1993 and 1999 and has maintained a close relationship with both brothers - famously attending Harry and Meghan's nuptial do.
