The Inside Story of Tiggy Pettifer and Mark Dyer: Baby Archie's Godparents
Let's dive into the fascinating world of Tiggy Pettifer and Mark Dyer, the godparents of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s little miracle, Baby Archie. Fans have been buzzing, trying to piece together the puzzle of why these two were chosen for such an important role in young Archie's life. So, let’s break it down in a way that makes sense, shall we?
Tiggy, now 54, has been a cherished figure in Prince Harry’s life since he was just a toddler.
