Prince William and Kate Middleton’s move to a four-bedroom home on the Windsor estate will mean ‘not having a live-in nanny for the first time in their children’s lives’.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, are reportedly set to uproot their family from Kensington, west London, to Adelaide Cottage in Berkshire this summer in order to be closer to the Queen.
However, their young children will not have Spanish Norland nanny Maria Borrallo on hand because she will live elsewhere, according to The Telegraph.
Ms Borrallo was hired by Kate and William, both 40, to help look after Prince George, nine, when he was eight months old and she now cares for Princess Charlotte, seven, and Prince Louis, four, too.

The ‘Spanish supernanny’ trained at the prestigious Norland College which has been producing childminders for the rich and famous since 1892.
Re-erected in 1831, the Cambridge’s new Grade II-listed retreat is just a short walk from St George’s Chapel and Windsor Castle, and sits proudly on the 655-acre royal estate in Berkshire.
Sources close to the family suggest the Cambridges were keen to be closer to the Queen, 96, who has suffered episodic mobility issues in recent months and also secure a good school for their three children.
George, Charlotte and Louis will be pulled out of their current prep school in Battersea and are all expected to start school locally when the new academic term begins in September.

The move also represents a fresh start for the senior royals and their five-strong family as they continue to cement their place among the most influential members of The Firm.
One source told the Sun: ‘Kate and William were very keen for a modest home to start their new lives in Windsor.
‘Adelaide Cottage fits the bill because it is a four-bedroom home and they do not need any more as they have no live-in staff.
‘They had no other demands than a pleasant family home close to schools and the Queen.
‘They were adamant they didn’t want anything too showy or anything that needed renovating or extra security so as not to be a burden on the taxpayer.’
