The woman was a nanny to the Duke of Sussex and was chosen to be one of Archie's godmothers, Her comments about the short duration that she gave the marriage and the ex-actress's jealousy of the maternal relationship she had with her husband were the triggers for the break between the two.
Like all royals, Prince Harry was raised by a nanny. The one chosen for him and his brother William was Tiggy Legge Bourke, a fundamental piece in their lives but who today is far from the Duke of Sussex.
Alexandra Shân Legge-Bourke (Pettifer since 1999 when she married Charles Pettifer) is the given name of whom she was an important pillar for the brothers after her parents divorced in 1993.
Tiggy came to take care of the children after spending time as Carlos III's personal assistant, a relationship that the journalist Martin Bashir used to make Diana believe that her children's nanny was having a relationship with her ex and that she was willing to tell. It was so that the princess agreed to speak publicly before 23 million viewers.
Although after what happened the bond between the two was cut short, for Harry she was a kind of surrogate mother to whom he trusted everything, to the point of being one of the first people to meet Meghan Markle and learn of her existence in the life of the the prince.
At first, Tiggy and the ex-actress got along great, but the impact that the former had on the life of her husband was the first alarm for the Duchess of Sussex.
Beyond the jealousy that the close relationship between the Duke and her nanny caused her, she accepted that she was one of Archie's godmothers, the couple's first child.
Once the Sussexes made the decision to step aside from royal family affairs, their break with Tiggy was made evident as Tiggy disapproved of the couple's refusal to remain active members of the Crown.
In fact, he did not look favorably on the family's move to the United States and he told Prince Harry who did not know what to answer him, beyond that it had been an idea presented by the ex-actress, overwhelmed by the exposure and bad press around him.
As if there were no reason for Meghan Markle not to tolerate the woman, it was learned that, after the Sussexes' wedding, Tiggy commented that, for her, the marriage would have no future due to the differences between the two and how they were raised.
