Obelix of the celebrity press, she fell into it when she was little and never really left the pot. His favorite pastime? Scour the social networks of stars to find clues about breakups or new couples still kept secret.
The information was already very dark but it is even more so for princes William and Harry and their father Charles III. In the terrible attack on December 31 in New Orleans, the son-in-law of a close relative of the royal family lost his life. And this relative has enormous importance for the future king of England and his brother.
Prince William and Harry: who is Tiggy, this important woman so affected by the loss of a loved one in New Orleans?
For New Orleans, it was in a very sad atmosphere that the year 2024 came to an end. As revealed by the world’s media, a terrorist attack took place while New Year’s celebrations were in full swing. A man driving a car drove into a crowd, killing 14 people on one of the streets in the city’s French Quarter. And among the victims are Ed Pettifer, a 31-year-old connected to the royal family.
Upon hearing the news, the Prince and Princess of Wales posted on the social networks: “We are shocked and saddened by the tragic death of Ed Pettifer”he wrote before continuing. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the Pettifer family and all the innocent people who were tragically affected by this attack.”
If Prince Harry has so far refrained from reacting, he is also undoubtedly very affected by this disappearance. It must be said that the victim was none other than the son-in-law of Tiggy Legge-Bourke, the beloved former nanny of Princes Harry and William who Charles had decided to trust.
Who is Tiggy Legge-Bourke?
Over the years, Alexandra Shan Legge-Bourke, her real name, has become a trusted person for the royal family. Particularly for Prince Charles (not yet king at the time) who had chosen her to take care of his sons until 1999. The bonds were such between the two boys and Tiggy that she was considered a second mom by the brothers. She particularly supported them when their mother Diana died and was a great comfort to them.
If she suffered from rumors designating her as mistress of Charles at the time (these rumors earned her damages following a trial), it was Charles Pettifer with whom she fell in love. She still lives a beautiful love story with him, a love now darkened by the terrible news. It was the latter’s son who lost his life in the attack deemed terrorist by the FBI. Before they became a couple, Charles Pettifer and Tiggy were great friends, with Tiggy having been made godmother to the now-missing boy. A hard blow during which she will surely be able to count on the support of her two surrogate sons in addition to her two other sons…
