When he becomes King, Prince William will have a much smaller number of royal relatives to support him than Queen Elizabeth did when she took the throne. Along with his aunts and uncles, his core group of working royals will likely be limited to Princess Kate and their three children. But on Thursday, March 4, the Prince of Wales joined Princess Anne and Duchess Sophie for a memorial service honoring a close family friend, showing his close bond with the Princess Royal.
The trio traveled to Wales to attend a memorial for the late Shân Legge-Bourke, who served as a lady-in-waiting to Princess Anne and was a longtime friend of the Royal Family. Shân’s daughter, Tiggy Legge-Bourke, was Prince William and Prince Harry’s longtime nanny, and the Prince of Wales made it a priority to attend the event alongside his family.
