The Royal Nanny
My main feel was that late night walk that Claire and Colin had. I also appreciated the one-on-one scenes between Claire and Princess Rose, even if they were far-fetched. No Princess is confiding in the nanny. But taking all the royalness out of it, those scenes were nicely written.
The Royal Nanny
According to People (opens in new tab), Legge-Bourke left her job as nanny for the royal family in 1999, but clearly remains close to her former employers: She attended the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and was named a godmother to baby Archie when he was born.
Claire is an MI5 agent who goes undercover as the royal nanny. She must overcome the challenges of her assignment, like resisting the charms of Prince Colin, while keeping the family safe at Christmas.
Three weeks before Christmas, Wallace and Claire walk through a Christmas market and are on a spy mission. (Wait, SPY MISSION??!?!?) They are intercepting a package wrapped in Christmas wrapping. It contains a teddy bear with a microdot that compromises the royal palace and family. (Including Princess Rose, her family, and her younger hunky brother Prince Colin.) The secret service assigns Claire and Wallace to infiltrate the castle as undercover servants. Claire will be the nanny even though she has no experience with children, which is kind of sexist! (Wallace has kids for crying out loud!)
The security agents track the bad girl who keeps getting away in sexy black outfits. When she gets too close to the royal family, Claire is assigned to keep an eye on Prince Colin as well. Could he be in on the operation?
Claire really starts bonding with the children and even gets close to Prince Colin. With a night off, the two go for a walk in the gardens and Claire shares about her orphan childhood. They almost kiss but are interrupted by an urgent royal matter.
At the height of the Middle Ages in the 14th century, King Edward III of England is determined to use any means necessary to expand his power and gain control of England's bitter rival, France. His own son, Edward, prince of Wales, is far from immune from his political plans. And when Joan of Kent, now free from exile, sees her chance for revenge, she takes it. A calculated plot to scandalize the royal family for revenge for her father's downfall and execution soon turns into the most surprising thing: love.
So begins the unforgettable story of Charlotte Bill, who would care for a generation of royals as their parents never could. Neither Charlotte - LaLa, as her charges dub her - nor anyone else can predict that eldest sons David and Bertie will each one day be king. LaLa knows only that these children, and the four who swiftly follow, need her steadfast loyalty and unconditional affection.
With Kate Middleton giving birth to Prince Louis in April and the royal family reportedly not hiring any additional staff, Maria absolutely has her hands full, but she "adores the little royals," and the kids respect her as well. The 40-something woman from Palencia, Spain, has been spotted with the family countless times over the past four years, and for one woman in charge of three important children, she always looks like she has things totally under control, and we applaud her for it.
It shouldn't come as a surprise, however, as Maria is well-trained and suited for this powerful position. As we've previously reported, she's a graduate of Norland College, which is famous "for training the caretakers of the UK's most notable families." Not only is she equipped to protect "a future king or queen," but she's teaching Prince George and Princess Charlotte how to speak Spanish as well. Read on to see photos of Maria with the royal kids, and prepare to be seriously envious of her awesome job.
When you're the nanny to Prince George and Princess Charlotte, you take your job very seriously \u2014 but for Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo, it sounds like she's struck the perfect balance between work and play. Joining the staff of the British family in March 2014 as the one and only nanny, Maria has grown incredibly close with the royal babies, watching them grow up right before her eyes. But according to People, she's \"no pushover.\"\n\"Maria loves the children dearly,\" the site reports. \"She can be firm and strict, but she is very loving and soft with them too.\"\nWith Kate Middleton giving birth to Prince Louis in April and the royal family reportedly not hiring any additional staff, Maria absolutely has her hands full, but she \"adores the little royals,\" and the kids respect her as well.
