Overview
- Royal author Katie Nicholl says Catherine’s first question before approving any tour or engagement is, “How does this work for us as a family?”
- The couple rely on nanny Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo, in the role since 2014, but her support is described as not live-in and not 24/7.
- Nicholl reports that the princess aims to handle everyday parenting herself, including doing the school run.
- Coverage says the Waleses strive for ordinary childhood experiences for their children through playdates, school clubs, and family meals.
- Reports position this as a break from earlier royal norms and trace the hands-on model to Princess Diana’s influence, contrasting with practices like the 1953 Commonwealth tour.
