Prince William<\/a>, Princess Anne<\/a>, and Duchess Sophie<\/a> came together to travel to Brecon, Wales, to attend a Service of Thanksgiving for a very close friend of the Royal Family. Sh\u00e2n Legge-Bourke, who died in December 2025, was celebrated with a service at Brecon Cathedral alongside the Legge-Bourke<\/a> family and friends. Dame Sh\u00e5n was remembered in The Bidding of the Service for her \u201cloyalty to her beliefs and friends,\u201d and that loyalty and friendship was clearly appreciated by the Royal Family<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dame Elizabeth Sh\u00e2n Legge-Bourke, known as Sh\u00e2n to her friends, served as a Lady-in-Waiting to Princess Anne, and her late husband, Captain William Legge-Bourke served as a Royal Equerry<\/a> for the late Queen Elizabeth II<\/a>. Dame Sh\u00e2n was a close friend of the Royal Family throughout her life, often guiding them on official visits to Wales in her capacity as Lord Lieutenant of Powys. Her daughter, Tiggy Pettifer (n\u00e9e Legge-Bourke), was a favored nanny of Prince William<\/a> and Prince Harry<\/a>, showing the close family ties.<\/p>\n

Women were invited to wear colorful hats and dresses to Dame Sh\u00e2n\u2019s Service of Thanksgiving, while men were invited to wear suits or uniforms. Prince William was seen in his usual nondescript suit, while Duchess Sophie wore a maroon-trimmed coat, red dress, and coordinating hatband, and Princess Anne wore a charcoal skirt suit. The royal trio arrived in three individual Range Rovers<\/a>, and drove right onto the cathedral grounds to exit their vehicles away from the public eye.<\/p>\n
