Prince says Milsome was “an incredibly humble and talented man. … We are all devastated by his loss.”
Milsome was 54 and had worked on TV series including “Sherlock” and “Game of Thrones” and films including “Saving Private Ryan” and “Quantum of Solace.”
The BBC said he was a “hugely talented and a much-respected colleague.” The broadcaster said it was “deeply shocked and saddened.”
