Britain's Prince William and Duchess Catherine are "saddened" by the death of Duchess Camilla's brother, Mark Shand.
The royal couple, who are currently on a royal tour of Australia and New Zealand, took a moment's pause from their trip to pay their respects to the Duchess of Cornwall's late brother, who died on Tuesday (22.04.14) after slipping on a New York City street and hitting his head.
William and Catherine said in a statement: "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were saddened to learn this morning of the tragic death of Mark Shand. Their thoughts are with the Duchess of Cornwall and her family at this time."
Mark, who was 62, tragically succumbed to serious head injuries after he stepped outside New York's Diamond Horseshoe nightspot to enjoy a cigarette.
The royal sibling slipped, hitting his head on a sidewalk, and was later declared dead in hospital.
Camilla, 66, is "devastated" by the death of her brother.
Clarence House said yesterday (23.04.14): "The Duchess, the Prince of Wales and all her family members are utterly devastated by this sudden and tragic loss.
"Mark Shand was a man of extraordinary vitality, a tireless campaigner and conservationist whose incredible work through The Elephant Family and beyond remained his focus right up until his death."

Britain's Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla are "utterly devastated" following the sudden death of her younger brother.
The Duchess of Cornwall's brother, Mark Shand, died in hospital at the age of 62 after suffering a head injury outside a nightclub in New York City on Tuesday night (22.04.14), following a charity auction.
In a statement on Wednesday (23.04.14), a spokesperson for Clarence House said: "It is with deep sadness that we have to confirm that The Duchess of Cornwall's brother, Mark Shand, has today passed away in New York. Mr. Shand died in hospital as a result of a serious head injury, which he sustained during a fall last night. The Duchess, The Prince of Wales and all her family members are utterly devastated by this sudden and tragic loss. Mark Shand was a man of extraordinary vitality, a tireless campaigner and conservationist whose incredible work through The Elephant Family and beyond remained his focus right up until his death."
A source told the MailOnline that Mr. Shand, who was a travel writer, slipped and fell while lighting a cigarette and smashed his head on a sidewalk outside the Diamond Horseshoe, after attending a function to raise funds for the Elephant Family, which helps to prevent the extinction of endangered Asian elephants.
A spokesman for the organisation, which he set up in 2002, said: "Today we have lost the head of our family. Mark Shand was a true force for conservation.
"He was both a legend and inspiration and above all our great friend. We ask at this time that people's thoughts are with his loved ones. We will miss him always."
Mr. Shand is survived by his wife Clio, and his daughter Ayesha, 19.

Britain's Prince Charles is tipped to attend Anzac Day in Gallipoli next year.
Australian authorities plan to invite the royal to be part of the centenary anniversary of the Anzac Day dawn service in the Turkish peninsula next year.
Anzac Day is observed on April 25 each year and commemorates all of the Australians and New Zealanders who fought at Gallipoli in the Ottoman Empire during World War I.
Charles, 65, is expected to join the Australian prime minister, Tony Abbott, at the ceremony.
No official invitation has been extended as yet but one is expected to be made soon.
Services director Tim Evans told a press conference on Tuesday (22.04.14): "I also understand that if approached the royal family would like to send a very senior member of the royal family, so you can draw your own conclusions.
"Prince Charles would be a very welcome nominee, but the decision is for the palace.
Prince Charles previously attended the 90th anniversary of Anzac Day in 2005.

Britain's Prince George has grown an "extra fat roll" during his visit to Australia.
The adorable tot's mother Duchess Catherine has quipped that her son has piled on the pounds while on a royal trip to New Zealand and Australia with his parents.
The 32-year-old royal made the amusing comment while visiting Uluru yesterday (22.04.14) after being quizzed if she missed George, who stayed with his nanny in Canberra.
Catherine told 17-year-old student Shannon Hunt: "He's been changing so much while we've been away."
Shannon said of the conversation: "Kate also said he grew an extra fat roll while they're away. She said he can get a bit grumpy on the long flights and she'd love to have him with her here."
Shannon was also eager to get a photo with Catherine and husband Prince William, 31, who was in quite a humorous mood.
When asked for a snap, he quipped: "Well, if you don't mind having a photograph with us!"
Shannon also intimated she was disheartened not to meet Queen Elizabeth when she visited Buckingham Palace last year.
William responded: "That's because she knew you wanted a selfie. She ran away!"

Prince William and Duchess Catherine are "cool dudes".
Youngsters who met the royals at an activity centre in Adelaide, Australia, today (23.04.14) were so impressed they described them as a "couple of cool dudes".
The royals were treated to a series of BMX bike tricks by some of the youth and William, 31, was even handed a spray can to create his own graffiti art on a nearby wall.
Simon Burt, leader of the Aerosol Angels, said: "He did a pretty good job. And he admitted when he'd finished his bit of art work that he was now addicted."
Another painter said: "He paints very well. He filled in part of the blue sky and didn't go over any of the lines."
The royals then witnessed an exhilarating BMX show which featured mid-air twists, somersaults and more.
18-year-old rider Liam Zammit is quoted by the Daily Express newspaper as saying: "Yeah, we all agreed [they were cool] because they showed such an interest in what we were doing.
"The Duchess noticed I had a scar on my leg and asked if I had done it today but I said it was from practicing.
"I think we put on a good show for them, that's for sure."

Britain's Prince William and Duchess Catherine unleashed their inner-DJs in Australia today (23.04.14).
The royal couple, fresh from a night of camping in the outback, visited the suburb of Elizabeth - which is named after William's grandmother, Queen Elizabeth - in Adelaide, where they met with young, aspiring musicians.
William, 31, and Catherine, 32, were treated to rap and hip-hop performances by members of Northern Sound System, a charitable effort which tries to engage young people through music.
The British visitors were even encouraged to have a go at controlling the music as Catherine stepped into the DJ booth and spun the decks.
William also got a chance to live on the wild side as he was given the opportunity to spray paint on a wall, before being wowed by a group of young cycling enthusiasts who performed tricks on their bikes.
The royals were again inundated with a slew of gifts for their young nine-month-old son, Prince George, with one youngster gifting them a custom-made skateboard for the tot.
Luke Haldenby told Australia's ABC News: "We gave them a skateboard that had 'George' on the bottom and it was green and it had Australian flags on both sides and kangaroos. He loved it and Kate thought that the design was nice."

Britain's Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are going 'glamping'.
The high-profile couple are set to make their stay in Australia's iconic natural landmark Uluru completely unforgettable with an overnight stay at Longitude 131, a lavish resort comprising 15 exclusive tent-style pavilions.
The royals will have the place to themselves, according to Britain's HELLO! magazine, since all of the luxury huts nestled in the dunes surrounding the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park have been booked out for the evening.
And the experience will be all the more romantic since Prince William and Duchess Catherine are said to have handed baby George over to his nanny for a much-needed "night off" from parenting duties.
Longitude 131 in Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, offers a camping experience like no other for the eye-watering price of $1,100 per person per night.
Tents feature wall-length windows boasting breathtaking views, high ceilings formed of draped canvas material, and home comforts including private bathrooms and double beds.
The couple will finally be able to take a break from their non-stop royal tour Down Under by sipping cocktails around the oasis swimming pool as the sun sets.
William, 31, and Catherine, 32, are then expected to tuck into a gourmet meal under the stars as a didgeridoo serenades them.
The prince's parents, Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana, were the last royal couple to visit Uluru in 1983.

Britain's Prince William was gifted a hunting spear during his trip to Australia today (22.04.14).
The 31-year-old royal, who is the midst of a whirlwind royal tour Down Under with his wife Duchess Catherine, was presented with the traditional hunting tool while visiting the National Indigenous Training Centre in Yulara, close to Uluru - the sacred tourist destination.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper, William was "impressed" with the barbed mulga wood spear - which is bound in kangaroo tendons - and asked about its origins.
William and Catherine, 32, presented certificates to graduates of the training centre and were adorned with a slew of gifts including the hunting spear.
39-year-old Emma Haskins and her four-year-old daughter Amelia travelled five hours to meet the royals and couldn't help but gush over their nine-month-old son, Prince George, who didn't accompany them on the trip to Uluru.
Emma said: "It's been planned since March - as soon as we found out she was coming we did it.
"It was so exciting - I was lost for words."
According to Emma, Catherine said she missed George and told her daughter she looked "beautiful".
