Media rumors may have largely misconstrued Tiggy Legge-Bourke's (non)relationship with Prince Charles, but the gossip columns seem to have been right about another thing: the nanny's close bond with both William and Harry. While in the royal family's employ, Tiggy allegedly began calling the two young princes "my babies." Insiders, Express assures its readers, described Legge-Bourke as simultaneously "a loving, liberal mother and a slightly wild big sister." For example, whispers Daily Mail, it was (maybe) Tiggy who gave Harry his first taste of cigarettes. Certainly, it was Tiggy who a 13-year-old William invited to his school's June celebrations — in place of either of his parents.

To this day, Legge-Bourke has seldom publicly talked of her time with the royals –  good or bad. In the absence of words, actions point to strong and enduring, familial bonds with her former charges. Beyond attending each others' weddings, Tiggy, William, and Harry have all taken formal steps to ensure that their relationships will last a lifetime. As per Daily Mail, William is godfather to his former nanny's youngest child, Tom. Harry is godfather to her oldest child, Fred. And, of course, Legge-Bourke is godmother to Harry's oldest, Archie. 

Legge-Bourke, clearly, has maintained her close relationship the princes. She also, however, seems to still be nurturing wounds from past media reports which disparaged her name and strained her relationship with Diana. Now, after a recent months-long investigation into Bashir's methods to obtain the interview with Diana, Legge-Bourke is seeking justice for the rumors that were exacerbated during the televised interview.
