Prince William and Kate Middleton to hire part-time nanny for royal baby The Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William are adopting a more hands-on approach to parenthood. PRINCE William and Kate Middleton are set to break with royal tradition and hire only a part-time nanny, fuelling speculation about who will help raise the third in line to the throne. With the Windsors flitting off across the UK and the globe on a regular basis, a legion of full-time nannies have traditionally played a central role in raising royalty. Another royal baby on the way But with Kate and Will establishing themselves as a thoroughly modern couple, the royal nanny is expected to take more of a back seat role than in previous years. Angela Jacobson, who was Madonna's full-time nanny between 2005 and 2007, said the nanny will have to be used to the VIP lifestyle. "I'm sure with the royal family the paparazzi won't get too close, but the cameras and security will be something that the nanny will have to live with," the two-time author said. They will be involved in ensuring the child sleeps well, feeding, bathing and taking them for walks around the grounds of the palace. They will be quite limited where they can go with the baby. Ms Jacobson said much like her deal with Madonna, the royal family will have an iron-clad confidentiality agreement preventing her from spilling the beans about the inner-life of the royals. No knitted kangaroo for royal bub Twitter and Facebook will most likely be banned and there will be a preference for single, loyal women. The 33-year-old Melbourne resident has also tipped that the nanny won't be young or attractive - so beautiful women need not apply. "There are a lot of insecure women in the world who would totally not have a good looking nanny," she said. They are asking for trouble having a young, beautiful 18-year-old girl living in the house. I've heard it happen many time where they get these Swedish girls in and the next thing the husband is having an affair and the Swedish girl takes over the house. I have a feeling that the royal nannies will be older, matron-style English nannies.
