Both Prince William and Princess Anne headed to a memorial service on Wednesday morning, as they paid their respects to the late Dame Shân Legge-Bourke
The Prince of Wales quietly joined Princess Anne and the Duchess of Edinburgh at a memorial service on Wednesday morning.
William, 43, was seen arriving at Brecon Cathedral to remember former lady-in-waiting Dame Shân Legge-Bourke. He was joined by the Princess Royal and the Duchess of Edinburgh, according to local paper Brecon & Radnor Express.
The royals arrived and departed by helicopter from Christ College in Brecon, the paper reported, before travelling to the cathedral via police escort. One local wrote on social media afterwards: “Nice to see Prince William and Duchess Sophie this morning, even got a wave.”
The Dame, who died at the age of 82 in December, was the mother to Prince William and Harry’s nanny, Tiggy Pettifer, and often hosted the young princes at her Glanusk estate in Wales. Tiggy is even godmother to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s son, Archie, so Dame Shan was once a strong presence in the Duke of Sussex’s life.

The Dame was once the lady in waiting for Princess Anne and was also known to be close to Queen Camilla. Announcing her passing in an Instagram post back in December, her family said they were “devastated” by her loss.
