Princess Charlotte’s Nanny Quit After 10 Years… Her Final Letter Left the Palace Speechless
After over a decade of loyal service, the royal household is bidding farewell to one of its most beloved and respected figures — Princess Charlotte’s nanny, Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo. The seasoned Norland-trained nanny has been a cornerstone of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s family life since she was hired in 2014, when Prince George was just eight months old. But it was her heartfelt and deeply personal farewell letter that left the palace — and the nation — speechless.
A Decade of Devotion
Maria Borrallo, often seen walking with the royal children during public events or keeping a careful eye on them behind the scenes, became a trusted figure within the royal household. Known for her professionalism, discretion, and unwavering dedication, she quickly earned the affection of not only the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge but also their three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
As Princess Charlotte grew up under Maria’s guidance, the bond between the two became particularly strong. Insiders say Maria had a special connection with the spirited young royal, often nurturing her curiosity, resilience, and sense of independence. From ballet lessons to royal tours, Maria was always nearby, offering comfort and care.
The Sudden Decision to Leave
Her decision to step down after ten years reportedly came as a surprise to the palace. According to close sources, Maria had begun to consider a quieter life outside the spotlight. While she was still committed to the family, she believed it was time for the children to continue growing with new experiences — and for her to begin a new chapter of her own.
“She felt her work with the family was done,” one royal aide said. “She helped raise the next generation with love and discipline. Now she wants to focus on personal passions she’s put on hold for years.”
A Letter That Left the Palace Speechless
Before leaving her post, Maria wrote a private letter addressed to the Duke and Duchess and their children. While the contents have not been officially released, royal insiders claim the letter was “incredibly moving, filled with gratitude, memories, and personal reflections.”
In the letter, Maria reportedly recalled special moments with Princess Charlotte — including late-night storytimes, first pony rides, and quiet conversations about what it means to be kind, brave, and compassionate. She praised the Duchess for being a “remarkable mother and role model,” and described Prince William as a “steady, strong father with a warm heart.”
The most touching part of the letter, according to one source, was her message to the children. She encouraged them to “always be curious, always be kind, and never forget the strength of their bond as siblings.”
