Royal expert reveals the strict rules George and Charlotte must follow

Their nanny was prestigiously trained. - by Bianca Mastroianni
  • 04 May 2020

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have strict rules in place for their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and soon Prince Louis, adhered to by their prestigious nanny, Ms. Borrallo.

Ms. Borrallo was born in Madrid and educated at Norland College in Bath, which is one of the most prestigious educational institutions for nannies.

Ms. Borrallo includes the children have a strict 7pm bedtime every night, which has been outlined by author Louise Heren.

One of the biggest rules is introducing news foods into the children's diet, as "you don't have a fussy eater if you have a Norland Nanny."

Ms. Heren said: "There will be no messing. That’s because Maria will be aware that as they step off planes, holding mum’s hands, smiling and waving to the crowds, there can’t be any crying or terrible twos or tantrums.

"There will be lots and lots of outdoor play, that’s the one thing you could say Norland are old-fashioned about. Loads of fresh air.

"Lots of bike rides, playing with their dogs, potentially some gardening. Norland are very into teaching children through play.

"Yes you are getting mucky with your hands in the soil but you are learning how to plant.

"If it is tipping it down, they will still go out. Wet weather is just inappropriate clothing, you have to put the right stuff on."

"It doesn’t have to be strict. Just because Norland Nannies wear the brown uniform, they look quite old-fashioned, that doesn’t mean their message is old-fashioned. It’s no nonsense," Heren continued.

Some ways the nannies keep things organised is by relying on sticker charts, depending on the child, to mark particular misbehaviour.

The young royals also have limited screen time on their iPad, which is set by their parents.

Another one of Ms. Barrallo main duties is preparing the kids for royal events, including how they should behave during it.

Ms. Heren said: "She’ll say: 'This is your opportunity to show Mummy and Daddy just how wonderful you are, and you are to smile and be really good for them and then we can go inside and play.'

"Maria will know their schedule. She will be doing a lot of explaining to them what is happening.

"If the children have travelled on royal engagements, it will be jolly difficult getting the kids to bed because of the excitement and the timetable of events.

"When you see William and Kate go off to a function and the children aren’t with them, they will be having naptime."

It's quite the task! But she is very close with the family, and is considered part of it, with her close relationship to Catherine.

"I imagine she’s quite chummy with Catherine.

"When you see pictures of Catherine with the three children, she’s very hands-on, and yet you don’t have a nanny if you are doing it all yourself.

"So that partnership between them – partnership rather than member of staff – will be the case there."
