The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are extremely hands on parents when looking after their children - Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis - but need extra help as working royals.
Kate and Prince William are senior royals that live a very busy lifestyle, which can require them to travel across the world for engagements, so sometimes need extra help with their childcare.
The Mirror reports the couple relies on their live-in nanny Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo, who earns a pretty penny as she has worked for the family since George was just six months old.
She's become an indispensable member of their family, with Kate previously telling friends she is “amazing”, as reported by My London.
Maria studied at the world famous Norland College, which is widely considered one of the best institutions as their graduates frequently land successful and high paid jobs working for celebrities and royals.
Maria is originally from Spain and comes from the city of Palencia but received her formal training at the prestigious college, located in Bath, before becoming the Cambridge's full-time nanny.
The college website reads: “Norland offers world-class training to those aspiring to be the very best professional childcare practitioners.”
In order to be accepted onto the £15,000- a year course you must have at least three Cs at A-Level and be able to show a passion and commitment for caring for young children. While that sounds easy enough, the college only welcomes around 100 pupils a year.
The subjects that are taught at the school have previously been described as a mix between 'Mary Poppins and James Bond' as students will learn everything from self defence, martial arts and getaway driving.

Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo is the nanny of Kate Middleton and Prince William's children. Maria is Spanish, and she has been the nanny for the Cambridges since 2014, and first started looking after George when he was just eight months old. Maria is a graduate of the prestigious Norland College and students here are trained in traditional child rearing skills as well as cooking and sewing techniques.
Royal nannies have to undertake a vigorous training process to get to the point where they are working for the royal family. Norland College is the most prestigious nanny-training school in the world, based in Bath and has taught nannies for royal families around the world.
Kate Middleton isn't the only 'celebrity mum' at her children's £6,900 a year school in West London.
Discussions have been ramping up recently about Prince William and Kate Middleton moving to be closer to the Queen on the Windsor Estate. Usually the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge split their family time between two beautiful homes, one in London and one in Norfolk.
Princess Charlotte and the Cambridges’ dog have been released to mark her seventh birthday. The young royal was photographed by her mum, the Duchess of Cambridge, at the family home in Norfolk. Kensington Palace released three photos which show Charlotte surrounded by bluebells in the gardens of Anmer Hall on the Queen’s Sandringham estate.
royals aren’t allowed to show any physical affection in public (or even hold hands). Or you may be aware that everyone has to finish eating as soon as the Queen does. Or perhaps your favourite is that the Queen has to take a supply of actual blood wherever she goes.
The Cambridge children are going to have “visible roles” in the Queen’s upcoming Platinum Jubilee celebrations, according to reports. Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are reportedly set to appear at a number of events in tribute to the Queen as a “show of Royal force” when she celebrates 70 years of rule in June. According to reports, the three children are likely to ride in a carriage to the Trooping the Colour ceremony, taking place on 2 June, before appearing on the balcony at Buckingham Palace as the Royal family watch the RAF flyover.Their dad, Prince William, is said to be leading the Trooping of Colour ceremony.
