Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are the latest in a long line of young royals to have the added benefit of a live-in nanny.
While the trio’s parents, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, are known for being very hands-on when it comes to their children, it’s sensible for the couple to take on extra help which can alleviate the pressures that come with their hectic work schedules.
Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo has been the nanny to the Cambridge children since each of them were small, having started working for the family eight years ago when Prince George was a few months old in 2014.

Alongside her prestigious training, Ms Borrallo would have also learnt several rules which she has no doubt carried with her into her job with the Royal Family.
One of these rules is that the word “kids” is banned because it is deemed disrespectful.
Author of ‘Nanny in a Book’, Louise Heren spoke to the Mirror about the year she spent at the college researching a documentary.
Heren said: “The word kid is banned. It’s a mark of respect for the children as individuals.”

Even though they are three of the most famous children in the world, Heren believes Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis lead normal lives at home.
She said: “Given what we have seen of Catherine when she is out in public, she’s very hands-on.
“I imagine her relationship with Maria is very close and they collaborate greatly on the care of the children.

“I’ve spoken to nannies who have worked with other royal families and life is pretty normal.
“You get up, have breakfast, you go to school and you wear your school uniform whether you like it or not.
“It would be quite like the average British schoolchild.”
