What It's Really Like to Nanny the Future King

About this episode

This episode features insights from a photographer and former royal staff about the young royals and the experience of being a royal nanny.

Whether they’re pulling faces at the Queen’s Jubilee, melting hearts on Christmas morning or being cheeky with their cousins at Buckingham Palace, the youngest generation of royals never fails to delight. From George and Charlotte to their cheeky little brother Louis, these little royal rascals are firm fan favourites. And in this episode of The Right Royal Podcast we speak with Getty Photographer Chris Jackson, who has had the privilege of going on tour with the Wales children and has taken some of the most iconic pictures of them - including Prince George's 4th birthday portrait. We are also joined by former Press Secretary to the Queen, Ailsa Anderson, who was one of the only people at Frimley Park Hospital when Lady Louise Windsor was born. And finally, we speak with Ex-Norland Nanny and The Sleep Mums podcast host Sarah Carpenter, who gives us an insight into the training it takes to become a royal nanny.
