Royal Nanny Maria Captures Heartwarming Moments Behind the Scenes at Trooping the Colour

In a delightful behind-the-scenes moment, Royal Nanny Maria Teresa Torreon Borrello was spotted taking photos of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis during the recent Trooping the Colour event.

Maria, who has been an integral part of the Wales family since Prince George was just six months old, has witnessed countless milestones in the lives of the royal children.

The Spanish Norland nanny has been a steadfast presence, attending significant events such as the late Queen's funeral and the coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla.

Her affection for the children is evident; while she can be strict when necessary, her nurturing side shines through in her interactions with them.

At the Trooping the Colour ceremony, which celebrated King Charles' birthday, Maria took it upon herself to capture candid moments using her phone.

Despite the presence of professional photographers, her personal snapshots offered a unique glimpse into the family dynamic.

One touching moment featured her photographing the Princess of Wales as she bent down to converse with her children before they boarded a royal carriage.

Although Maria remained mostly behind the scenes throughout the day, she certainly made an effort to look elegant for the occasion.

Inside Buckingham Palace, she donned a chic dark dress complemented by a cream jacket and a matching fascinator hat—an outfit reminiscent of what she wore during the coronation festivities.

Previously residing with Prince William and Princess Kate at Kensington Palace, Maria adjusted to a new living situation when the family moved to Adelaide Cottage last year.

While she no longer shares a home with them, her role as the children's caretaker remains unchanged, ensuring that she continues to be a vital part of their lives.

Born in Spain, Maria honed her childcare skills at Norland College, a prestigious institution in the UK.

Her first public appearance with the royal couple dates back to their 2014 tour of New Zealand and Australia, when Prince George was just nine months old.

Since then, she has consistently been present at major royal events, adeptly managing young bridesmaids and pageboys at weddings.

One of Maria's most memorable appearances occurred at Princess Charlotte's christening in 2015, where her bowler hat drew comparisons to the beloved character Mary Poppins.

Her professionalism and dedication to her role have earned her the respect and admiration of the royal family.

While details about Maria's personal life remain private, it's known that she is single and wholly committed to her work with the Wales family.

Friends have noted her history of working with other prominent high-society families, which ultimately led to her hiring by the Cambridges.

This year's Trooping the Colour marked a new chapter with King Charles as the reigning monarch.

The event, steeped in tradition, still managed to capture the playful spirit of the royal children.

Prince Louis, in particular, stole the show with his antics, including holding his nose in the royal carriage, likely due to the parade's many horses.

As the three children took their place on the Buckingham Palace balcony, Prince Louis continued to entertain, puffing out his cheeks and stretching out his arms as the Red Arrows aerobatic team flew overhead.

They all stood together as “God Save the King” played, a proud moment for the royal family.

The celebration not only honored the official birthday of the British Sovereign but also included a surprise for King Charles—eighteen Typhoon jets flying overhead, spelling out “CR” in the sky, a tribute to both Charles and “Rex,” the Latin word for King.

This year's Trooping the Colour was a blend of tradition and familial warmth, with Maria capturing those precious moments that define the royal family's bond.
