Britain's Prince William and Harry's former nanny has received substantial damages from the BBC over "false and malicious" allegations used to obtain Martin Bashir’s 1995 Panorama interview with the princes' mother Diana.

Alexandra Pettifer, better known as Tiggy Legge-Bourke, appeared at the High Court in London for a public apology from the broadcaster over "fabricated" allegations she had an affair with Britain's Prince Charles while working as his personal assistant in 1995.

Her solicitor Louise Prince told the court the allegations caused "serious personal consequences for all concerned".
