The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are finally on their first royal tour together since the Covid-19 pandemic.
The royal couple has been enjoying the sights and sounds of Belize on their first few days of the trip to the Caribbean.
Later in the week, they'll head on to Jamaica and then the Bahamas before returning back to the UK.
And no doubt by that time, they will be desperate to see their three children - Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
The three youngsters have not joined their parents on the tour - despite the two older children being taken on royal trips in the past.
So who will Kate and William be leaning on for support with their little ones while they are away? Here we take a look...
Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo
One person William and Kate will probably be relying on the most when it comes to childcare is their nanny Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo.
Since starting work for William and Kate in 2014 when George was around six months old, Maria has become an indispensable member of their family, with Kate telling friends she is “amazing”.

Living with the Cambridges in Kensington Palace and Anmer Hall, Maria will be well-prepared to take charge when the royal couple is away.
She trained at the prestigious Norland College, where nannies are taught everything from how to care to children to defensive driving.
Carole and Michael Middleton
Another "indispensable" member of William and Kate's inner support network is Kate's mum Carole.
Carole is grandmother to George, Charlotte and Louis - and often steps in to help out with childcare and also helped to look after the children when William and Kate visited Pakistan in 2019.
The doting grandmother has previously spoken about how much she enjoys spending time with the children, telling Good Housekeeping how she likes to play games with them and "muck around".
She also explained how she enjoys cooking, dancing and going on bike rides with all her grandchildren.
Meanwhile Michael, Kate's dad is also likely to pitch in with any childcare too.
Royal expert Katie Nicholl said: "One of the things that allows William and Kate to be so ordinary is the presence of the Middletons in their lives.
"Carole is a regular through those golden gates at Kensington Palace, she whizzes through in her Land Rover. There is no security because everybody knows her."
Pippa Middleton
Also no doubt willing to help out if she can will be Kate's younger sister Pippa.
Kate and Pippa were close growing up and Pippa is also a mum to two children - Arthur and Grace - who are Kate's young nephew and niece.
Therefore could George, Charlotte and Louis be set to spend some time with their aunt and young cousins?
Close friends
William and Kate may chose to call on some of their closest friends if they are in need of help.
They include Lady Laura Meade and James Meade, who was in the wedding party when William and Kate tied the knot in 2011. James is also a godfather to Charlotte while Laura is a godmother to Louis.
Other close friends in their inner circle they could lean on is Kate's old school friend Emilia Jardine Patterson, who is a godmother to George, and Sophie Carter - a long-term friend of Kate's who is a godparent to Charlotte.
