The BBC agreed Thursday to pay “substantial damages” to an ex-nanny of princes William and Harry for falsely claiming she’d had an affair with their dad, heir apparent Prince Charles — and even aborted his baby.
The wild allegations about Alexandra Pettifer, who was then known as Tiggy Legge-Bourke, were part of Martin Bashir’s “deceitful behavior” in tricking Princess Diana into a bombshell 1995 interview about cheating in her disintegrating marriage to UK heir apparent Charles.
An enraged Diana confronted her kids’ nanny about the affair, even claiming she had a hospital letter proving the abortion happened, London’s High Court was told.
“As the allegation of an abortion was totally false, any such letter could only have been fabricated,” noted Pettifer’s lawyer, Louise Prince.
