WHEN it comes to hiring staff to work in the Cambridge household, it will come as no surprise that Kate Middleton has incredibly high standards.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge rely on a trustworthy team to help them run their home of Kensington Palace, with trust being the operative word.
There is a zero tolerance approach towards gossiping as job advertisements for the roles of housekeeping at the couple’s London home have previously revealed.
Any one hoping to work in the family’s home should be good at “maintaining confidentiality and exercising discretion” according to previous posts on the Royal Household website.
It is unsurprising that Kate and William would rather keep their private life just so, especially with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Louis under the same roof.
This is not the only rule that the Cambridges instill on the staff members, with the children’s nanny Maria Borrallo banned from using certain words at home.
Maria, who trained at Norland College in Bath, and Norland expert Louise Herren explained that there is one thing she must never say on the job.
Speaking to the Mirror, Louise explained that that Norland nannies are banned from saying ‘kids’ and must instead use the children’s names at all times.

Louise says: “The word kid is banned. It’s a mark of respect for the children as individuals.”
Naughty steps are also banned and are not part of the Norland nanny experience –and sticker charts are part of their arsenal, depending on the child.
In other royal news, we shared how Sophie Wessex is the Queen’s ‘favourite’ and she’s ‘trusted’ in ways Kate and Camilla aren’t.
And this is the moment Sophie grimaced and grabbed her head in front of a concerned Meghan Markle… after a bug flies into her EAR.
Plus Kate Middleton is more than twice as popular as Meghan Markle according to this poll.
