Prince George’s new carer has been unmasked as a Spanish “supernanny” who is trained in martial arts and James Bond-style stunt driving.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have confirmed they have hired Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo to look after their eight-month-old son.
“Maria is a full-time nanny, who started work with us recently, and will be accompanying the Duke and Duchess and Prince George to New Zealand and Australia,” a Kensington Palace spokesman said.
“We will not be giving further details on Maria or her employment, except to say that the Duke and Duchess are of course delighted she has chosen to join them.”
The Daily Star photographed Maria, George and a bodyguard in London’s Hyde Park.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given that her new charge is the future King of England, Maria is no ordinary nanny.
She trained at the prestigious Norland College, the UK’s premiere child minding school where a three-year degree costs $65,000.
As well as nappy changes and child CPR, students are trained in Tae Kwan Do for self-defence – including innovative techniques for escaping kidnappers while pushing a pram – and stunt driving, with special focus on high speed evasive manoeuvres for avoiding paparazzi.
Graduates of the establishment have gone on to work for some of the world’s biggest celebrities and aristocrats.
Maria, who is in her mid-thirties, has spent the past two decades working for high society families. She got the chance to bond with George earlier this month when she cared for him while his parents enjoyed a quick break in the Maldives.
