It was no surprise when the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge chose a Norland College graduate Maria Teresa Turrion Barroallo to take care of Prince George and now Princess Charlotte.
“Norlanders are sought after all over the world to rock the cradles of the offspring of the rich and famous,” writes William Langley in The Australian Women’s Weekly special souvenir issue of Young Royals, on sale now.
“Founded 123 years ago, Norland College produces fewer than 50 nannies a year and, in the right circles, securing the services of one has a status comparable to owning a private jet or a collection of Old Masters,” Langley says.
In a lengthy feature about the college Langley writes about the school, discretely located in the Regency spa-town of Bath and looks like a place where “they would take your cap and riding boots at the door.”
“Our motto,” says marketing coordinator Abby Searle, “is ‘Love Never Faileth’, and while we very much stick to that, we aren’t stuck in the past. We don’t try to give our girls fixed ideas, or tell them one way is better than another. We prepare them to make their own decisions.”
