Why did Diana hate William and Harry's nanny so much?
Princes William and Harry worshiped their nanny, Alexandra Legge-Bourke, aka Tiggy. But their late mother, Lady Diana, hated her from the moment she met her.
Lady Diana had a visceral hatred for the nanny of her children. This from the moment William and Harry's mom met his gaze. But what did she blame this Alexandra Legge-Bourke, who was nicknamed Tiggy? First, his bond with his two sons. The princess of hearts couldn't bear to see her husband's childhood friend pamper and kiss her boys for him. Sick with jealousy, she couldn't tolerate the countless hours this woman spent with them either. The fear of losing her children paralyzed her: were they going to prefer their nanny with her tongue hanging out over their mother? It must be said that she made her tremble with fear when she called Princes William and Harry “her babies,” as Tatler reported last November.
Reproaches, Lady Diana made him many others. His close relationship with Princes William and Harry was, indeed, not the only problem. The princess was convinced that her husband, Prince Charles, was having an affair with the babysitter. His entourage has fueled this rumor. One of her relatives whispered to her that Tiggy had aborted her husband. Did journalist Martin Bashir also participate in his paranoia? Desperate to get an exclusive BBC interview with the princess, he allegedly showed her a fake certificate attesting to Alexandra Legge-Bourke's abortion. In any case, that's what Diana's brother Charles Spencer said, accusing her of manipulation. But the British police finally announced “that it was not opportune to open a criminal investigation into these allegations”, as we reported to you on March 4.
A strong attachment to the royal family
Princes William and Harry, meanwhile, have always had a strong attachment to this babysitter. The two brothers considered her, moreover, as their second mother. It must be said that Tiggy, removed for a time from Kensington Palace, lent them her shoulder when their mother died in a tragic car accident in 1997. Charles' childhood friend took care of them. for two years, before leaving the royal family to found his own with Charles Pettifer. In contrast, Alexandra Legge-Bourke never left the place that the members of the kingdom reserved for her in their hearts. As we reported to you in September 2018, Lady Diana's worst enemy was invited to Charles and Camilla's wedding in 2007. A few months later, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip had also invited her for their sixty years of marriage, at Westminster Abbey.
