Royal help is always at hand

Royal nannies have been important figures within the palaces over the decades, caring for and shaping the emotional well-being of future kings and queens.

Although Kate and William are not expected to have a full-time nanny, it is more than likely they will employ some help — along with support from Kate’s parents Carole and Michael Middleton.

Royal nannies often come recommended, having already worked for other members of the family, or they have close ties with family friends.
