Tiggy Legge-Bourke, a royal nanny, will receive compensation from the BBC following Princess Diana’s “deceitful” Panorama interview

• Tiggy Legge-Bourke, the former nanny of Prince William and Prince Harry, would get a sizable settlement from the BBC.
• The BBC was sued for defamation by Tiggy.
• There were claims that she had an affair with Prince Charles in 1995 while serving as his personal assistant.

Following Martin Bashir’s 1995 Panorama interview with Diana, Princess of Wales, Tiggy Legge-Bourke, the former nanny of Prince William and Prince Harry, would get a sizable settlement from the BBC.

The BBC was sued for defamation by Tiggy, who is now Mrs. Alexandra Pettifer, due to “false and malicious” claims that she had an affair with Prince Charles in 1995 while serving as his personal assistant.

On Thursday, the court was also informed that Tiggy had been wrongly accused of being pregnant with Charles’ child and aborting the child.

According to Tiggy, who was successful in getting her claim resolved and will also have the BBC cover her legal expenses, “I am upset that it took legal action for the BBC to recognize the terrible suffering I have been subjected to.

“Unfortunately, I am one of many people whose lives have been damaged by the dishonest manner in which the BBC Panorama was produced and the BBC’s ensuing refusal to adequately investigate the production of the program.

I’m quite unhappy about the harm done to the royal family. I have personal knowledge of the extent of their impact at the time as well as how the show and the false narrative it gave rise to have haunted the family ever since.

Particularly because there are still many aspects of the program’s creation that have not been sufficiently described.

Tim Davie, director-general of the BBC, also made the following statement in a statement: “Following publication of the Dyson Report last year, we have been working with those who suffered as a result of the dishonest tactics used by the BBC in pursuit of its interview with Diana, Princess of Wales for the Panorama program in 1995, including the matters that were mentioned in court today in respect of Miss Tiggy Legge-Bourke, now Mrs. Alexandra Pettifer.

He added: “I would like to take this opportunity to publicly apologize to her, to the Prince of Wales, and to the Dukes of Cambridge and Sussex, for the way in which Princess Diana was deceived and the subsequent impact on all their lives. I can confirm that the BBC has agreed to pay Tiggy substantial damages.

It is regrettable that the BBC did not investigate the situation immediately after the program when there were indications that the interview may have been obtained illegally. Instead, the BBC neglected to pose the difficult questions, as the Duke of Cambridge himself stated.
