Prince William and Princess Kate have revolutionized royal parenting with their hands-on approach. They actively participate in their children's lives, from daily school runs to playtime and cooking at home. To foster a more ordinary and private life, the family relocated from Kensington Palace to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor. This move also meant the departure of their live-in staff, including their beloved nanny, Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo.

Despite no longer residing with the family, Maria remains an integral part of the children's lives. Having cared for them since infancy, starting with Prince George in 2014, she has developed a strong bond with them. Maria, a Norland College-trained expert, is highly respected by the family. Interestingly, she reportedly avoids using the term "kid" in front of the children, as it is considered disrespectful. This reflects the emphasis placed on treating the children as individuals.

While Maria no longer spends every day with the children, who now attend Lambrook School, she previously played a significant role in their upbringing. She engaged them in outdoor activities, gardening, and bike rides, similar to William and Kate's approach. Additionally, Maria is believed to have played a role in teaching George, Charlotte, and Louis Spanish. Reports suggest that Prince George could count to 10 in Spanish at the age of three, and Princess Charlotte was speaking two languages by the age of two.
