Royal nanny's huge salary for looking after Prince George, Louis and Princess Charlotte

The Cambridge family have a live-in nanny called Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo who has worked for the family since 2014. Maria joined the family eight years ago when Prince George was just a few months old.

The nanny who is originally from Spain, Palencia received her formal training at the prestigious Norland College in the city of Bath - it is seen as one of the most famous colleges and one of the best institutions in the world reports My London.

She's become an indispensable member of their family, with Kate previously telling friends she is “amazing”.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge hired Norland Nanny Maria Borallo to look after their children George, eight, Charlotte, six and Louis, three from the super-elite institution.

Those who graduate from Norland College often land hugely successful and highly paid jobs working for everyone from royals to celebrities. The college website reads: “Norland offers world-class training to those aspiring to be the very best professional childcare practitioners.”

In order to be accepted onto the £15,000- a year course you must have at least three Cs at A-Level and be able to show a passion and commitment for caring for young children. While that sounds easy enough, the college only welcomes around 100 pupils a year.

The subjects that are taught at the school have previously been described as a mix between 'Mary Poppins and James Bond' as students will learn everything from self-defence, martial arts and getaway driving. When students graduate after four years, they will certainly be excited at the future opportunities that lie ahead of them as Norland Nannies are always in high demand.

According to FEMAIL, newly qualified nannies can earn up to £42,000 for a non-residential role while some earn up to £120,000 after a few years' experience. This attractive salary also includes the benefits of designer handbags, trips abroad and luxurious living quarters.

Principal Dr Janet Rose said students have to be 'creative, resilient and practical' - and be capable of keeping their employer's secrets.

Dr Rose said: "Amongst many traits, Norland Nannies need to be loving, kind, honest, creative, practical, responsible, organised and willing to continually learn and improve in order to do the very best for the families and young children with whom they work.

"We aren't looking for in-depth knowledge of babies and young children because we will teach them this. Instead, we're looking for what we can't teach – an absolute commitment to being the person that changes the world through shaping the life of the children they work with."
