(Guardian) -Prince William was described yesterday as 'deeply saddened' at the death of his 'good friend' and former platoon commander at Sandhurst .

Major Alexis Roberts, 32, was killed in a roadside explosion in southern Afghanistan last Thursday and is the most senior Army officer to die in the country since the conflict began in 2001.

The Prince said last night his thoughts were with Major Roberts' wife and their two young daughters.

'At this time, his thoughts and prayers are with Lex's wife, Susie, their two young daughters, Alice and Freya , and with all his family and friends,' a statement from Clarence House read.
