Catherine’s Nanny Borrallo SPOTTED Secretly Joining The Prince And Princess On A Trip!

Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo has been an indispensable part of Prince William and Catherine’s household since joining as their royal nanny in 2014, when Prince George was just eight months old. Over the years, she has helped raise Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, ensuring their care and upbringing align with both royal tradition and modern parenting values.

Borrallo made her first public appearance as a royal nanny when she joined Prince William and Catherine during their 2014 tour of New Zealand and Australia. At the time, Prince George was only eight months old, and Nanny Maria was on hand to care for him while the couple carried out their royal duties. Since then, she has been a constant presence in the children’s lives—traveling with the family on royal tours and holidays and attending major royal events.

Prince William and Catherine have rarely spoken publicly about their nanny. In fact, they only confirmed her employment in a brief statement in 2014, after she was photographed pushing Prince George’s pram around Hyde Park. The couple then announced that Maria would join them on their royal tour of New Zealand and Australia, adding that they were delighted to have her as part of their family’s support system.

Borrallo can often be spotted at royal events such as Trooping the Colour, where she is sometimes seen peeking out of the Buckingham Palace window with the children. She also plays a key role at royal weddings, helping to keep the young bridesmaids and page boys on their best behavior.

Perhaps her most iconic appearance came at Princess Charlotte’s christening in 2015, where she stood alongside Prince William, Catherine, Prince George, and Queen Elizabeth. She was dressed in her traditional Norland College uniform—a brown dress with a bowler hat—drawing comparisons to the world’s most famous fictional nanny, Mary Poppins. Norland College introduced the uniform in 1892 to ensure its graduates were recognized as professionals rather than mistaken for household staff.

Her influence on the royal children extends beyond daily care. In 2017, The Telegraph reported that Borrallo had taught Prince George how to count in Spanish, and by 2018, she had also introduced Princess Charlotte to the language. “She’s very sweet and very confident—she’s always chatting away,” a source said of Charlotte at the time.

Maria is known for striking the perfect balance between providing care and support while remaining discreet. “Maria loves the children dearly,” a source shared with People in 2018. “She can be firm and strict, but she is very loving and soft with them, too.”

Norland-trained nannies can earn between £42,000 and £120,000 per year, often with additional benefits such as luxurious living quarters and international travel opportunities. The Spanish-born nanny, now 55, has been by the family’s side for every major milestone, including Queen Elizabeth’s funeral and King Charles and Queen Camilla’s coronation.

At Trooping the Colour, Maria was on hand to support the royal couple, capturing candid moments on her phone of Catherine and her three children as they waited to board their royal carriage. Though she remained behind the scenes for most of the day, she was spotted dressed elegantly in a dark dress, accessorized with a cream jacket and matching fascinator hat.

However, in September 2022, when Prince William and Catherine moved to Adelaide Cottage on Queen Elizabeth’s Windsor estate, it came with a significant change—Borrallo was placed at another property. Despite this shift, she has remained a dedicated caretaker for their children.

Throughout royal history, nannies have played a crucial role in raising future monarchs. The King, Prince William, and Prince Harry all developed strong bonds with their nannies. Royal commentator Pauline MacLaren has noted that a nanny’s influence extends beyond basic childcare, helping to shape a royal child’s cognitive and social development.

In 2024, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams noted that Catherine, who recently underwent significant surgery, would need ample time to rest. As a hands-on mother, she will rely heavily on Maria in the coming weeks and possibly months. Prince William has also cleared his schedule to focus on family, and Maria’s presence ensures stability for the children during this challenging time.

Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo remains a steadfast presence in the lives of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, embodying the professionalism and dedication that make her an invaluable part of the Wales family’s inner circle.
