Beyond her personal ties to royalty, Dame Shan held numerous influential public roles. She served as Lord Lieutenant of Powys and chaired the Brecon and Radnor Country and Land Association.

She was also President of Save the Children in Wales, President of the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society, and led the National Federation of Young Farmers Clubs.

More than her titles and achievements, Dame Shan Legge-Bourke will be remembered for her dedication to Wales, her community, and her family, as well as for the quiet strength and practicality that defined her life.
