Long-time nanny for Wills and Harry dies

The long-time nanny of Prince William and Prince Harry died Tuesday at 82.

Olga Powell was their nanny for 15 years, throughout their childhood and after their mother’s death. She had been with the family since William was six months old.

She collapsed outside of her town in Broxbourne, just outside of London.

After she retired, Powell stayed in touch with the boys, attending William’s graduation from Sandhurst military college in 2006, and his wedding in 2011.
