Maria Teresa Turri\u00f3n Borrallo is Prince William and Princess Kate<\/a>\u2019s nanny for their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis<\/a>. She\u2019s worked with the family full-time since 2014, following the birth of Prince George in 2013. While she remains largely behind the scenes, she has been pictured helping out at big royal events and during trips abroad. It\u2019s unknown if the royal children use Maria\u2019s given name when talking to her, but did you know she also has a lesser-known moniker?<\/p>\n

\u00a0Maria is a Norland nanny<\/a>, which means she was trained at Norland College in Bath, a prestigious college that\u2019s been running since 1892. In a video shared by the institution, it was revealed that pupils refer to themselves as a ‘Norlander’.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dr. Rebecca Digby, Vice Principal and Head of Learning, Teaching and Research at Norland College, has previously told HELLO! that Norland nannies’ “high level of attention to detail,” in addition to the “depth and breadth in their understanding” is very attractive to high-profile families “because it’s a hallmark of quality that you know that somebody has got the experience and expertise because they’ve worked very hard to gain it over four years of intensive training<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

Where does nanny Maria live?
\n \"Maria\u00a9 GettyMaria Teresa Turrion Borrallo has been a nanny for Prince William and Kate since Prince George was six months old <\/p>\n

\u00a0In the past, Maria has lived with Prince William and Princess Kate and their children; however, since they departed London and opted for a life away from the spotlight, they chose to not have any live-in staff. However, it is likely that employees like Maria, including chefs and housekeepers do live nearby for ease. The family currently live at Forest Lodge on the Great Windsor Park estate<\/a> and there are lots of cottages on the estate that are often used for staff lodgings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nMaria\u2019s special recognition<\/p>\n

\u00a0Maria was presented with a Royal Victorian Medal in Silver from Prince William at the investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle earlier this year.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The silver Royal Victorian Medal is a particular honour awarded by the King for loyal service to the monarch or members of the royal family. This differs from the honours given to sportspeople and actors, who often receive MBEs and knighthoods. Unlike many other honours, it is purely down to the monarch to decide who receives it, rather than being granted on the advice of government ministers or overseen by independent committees.<\/p>\n

Princess Kate on mum guilt
\n \"Prince\u00a9 Getty ImagesKate is a busy working mum <\/p>\n

While Princess Kate may not be your ordinary \u2018mum\u2019 she does experience mum guilt just like the rest of us. \u201cAnyone who doesn’t [experience mum guilt] as a mother is actually lying! Yep \u2013 all the time, yep \u2013 and you know even this morning, coming to the nursery visit here \u2013 George and Charlotte were like ‘Mummy how could you possibly not be dropping us off at school this morning?’ But no it’s a constant challenge \u2013 you hear it time and time again from mums, even mums who aren’t necessarily working and aren’t pulled in the directions of having to juggle work life and family life\u2026 and always sort of questioning your own decisions and your own judgements and things like that, and I think that starts from the moment you have a baby!<\/strong>“<\/p>\n
