Who is Tiggy Ligberg, the former nanny of Princes William and Harry?
Tiggy Ligberg, the caregiver of the princes in the past, has recently made headlines due to her legal battle with the BBC over defamation.
But who exactly is Tiggy Ligberg and what is her story?
Tiggy Ligberg became the nanny for Princes William and Harry following the divorce of Prince Charles and Princess Diana in 1993.
Prior to this role, she had served as Charles' personal assistant for four years.
In 1999, Tiggy decided to step down from her royal duties after marrying former British Army officer Charles Pettyfer.
Currently, Tiggy Ligberg resides with her husband, two sons, and two step-sons on the Glanask estate in Wales.
Despite stepping away from her role as a nanny, Tiggy has maintained a close relationship with Princes William and Harry over the years.
Prince William even included Tiggy's son Tom as a pageboy at his wedding in 2011, solidifying their bond further by becoming godparents to Tiggy's children.
In a recent legal case against the BBC, Tiggy Ligberg is expected to receive significant damages due to false accusations made during a 1995 Panorama interview with Princess Diana.
The court heard that Tiggy was wrongly accused of being pregnant with Prince Charles' child and undergoing an abortion, leading to her decision to pursue legal action against the BBC.
Following the court's decision, Tiggy expressed her dissatisfaction with the situation, emphasizing the harm caused by the false narrative presented in the Panorama interview.
She highlighted the impact on her life and the royal family, stressing the need for accountability and transparency in media production.
In a separate development, Doria Ragland, Meghan Markle's mother, criticized Thomas Markle, Meghan's father, for his involvement in staging paparazzi images before the royal wedding.
Doria expressed astonishment at Thomas' actions, noting the negative impact it had on Meghan and the family.
Thomas Markle's collaboration with a British photographer to create staged photos for the media led to embarrassment for Meghan and strained their relationship.
Despite claiming health issues as the reason for missing the wedding, media reports suggested that the incident was a deliberate attempt to divert attention from the controversy.
In a revealing Netflix documentary, Doria Ragland shared her perspective on the events surrounding the royal wedding, vowing to shed light on her side of the story.
The documentary delves into the complexities of family dynamics and the challenges faced by the Sussexes amidst media scrutiny and public attention.
