**Royal Nanny’s Strict Rule: No ‘Kids’ Allowed**

The royal nanny, Maria Borrallo, has been a constant presence in the lives of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, the children of Prince William and Princess Kate.

Hired in 2014 to care for George, Maria continued her role as the family expanded with the arrivals of Charlotte in 2015 and Louis in 2018.

Trained at Norland College in Bath, Maria seamlessly integrated into royal life, residing with the family at Kensington Palace and accompanying them on various royal engagements.

Despite her seamless transition into her royal duties, Maria adheres to a strict rule instilled during her training – she is forbidden from using the word ‘kids' when addressing the royal children.

Instead, she opts for ‘children' or their individual names, a practice aimed at showing respect for the children as individuals.

This rule, deeply ingrained in Maria during her time at Norland College, reflects the high standards expected of those in childcare roles within the royal household.

Louise Herron, an author who spent a year researching at Norland College for a documentary, shed light on this unique aspect of Maria's caregiving approach.

In an interview with the Mirror, Louise emphasized the significance of the word choice and its impact on the children's perception of themselves.

By avoiding the term ‘kids,' Maria upholds a tradition of respect and individuality that is paramount in her interactions with George, Charlotte, and Louis.

Contrary to the grandeur often associated with royalty, Louise Herron believes that the Cambridge children lead relatively normal lives within the confines of their home.

Drawing from her insights into royal childcare practices, Louise highlighted Princess Kate's hands-on approach to parenting and her likely close collaboration with Maria in caring for the children.
