Well, I'm glad they've changed their minds about "not having a nanny."
Have they? Or are you believing the Daily mail?

Until we see the nanny with George, we don't know if it is true. We also don't know when Kate is going back to royal duties and what William is doing after he leaves RAF Valley. They are going to need someone to watch over their kids when they both have to be somewhere. But I do think the days when royals just let the nanny raise the kids is over.
IMO, there is no winning on this one. The couple had never stated categorically that they were not getting a nanny ever. Nor can you believe the current stories that Wills' old nanny is being sought. It is reasonably safe to sat that most "working" mothers, or those that can afford it, will get some childcare, at the appropriate juncture. Catherine will be expected to attend public events, or spend time with her charities and staff, so it is only fair that she organise some childcare.
I agree. The only thing I'd ever read was that they would not hire a maternity nurse.
I wonder if that is true. I don't know how things work in the UK, but in my country the maternity nurse is there to take care of the mother and baby. To see if the mother is recovering well (does the bleeding lessen, is the womb getting smaller?) And to see if the baby is doing well (does if feed properly or is extra bottelfeeding needed, is it peeing/pooping enough and in the right colour?). These are all things Mrs. Middleton or any other non-nurse (like most of us) can't do.
I don't know if this is the right thread... But: have u noticed that the duchess of cambridge has a big scar on her left hand? I've noticed that when she toured scotland two days in early april with prince william and charles...it seems a bruise due to ironing... no sure
My assumption is that Kate and William would prefer to have the grandparents (most esp Kate's) to watch little George over a complete stranger. Someone they can trust. I think it's perfectly normal to want family members to watch your newborn child. They may not get a nanny now but when George is slightly older.

I don't know. If Kate doesn't have a nanny, I would call her foolish. Better to be prepared than to end up having to stay home from official engagements because she can't find a sitter.
From what I've read their new housekeeper was also hired to do occasional babysitting.I don't know. If Kate doesn't have a nanny, I would call her foolish. Better to be prepared than to end up having to stay home from official engagements because she can't find a sitter.
But all the grandparents work for a living
Firstly, why don't you believe them?
Secondly, my view is that Catherine, who likes to understand and get a grip on information and how things work, is applying that approach to raising her child/ren. She will employ a nanny once she understands what needs to be done and how she wants it done. Then she will feel able to employ a nanny who does the job how Catherine wants it done. She isn't someone to just hand the job over to someone else.
Thirdly, parents manage on their own all over the world. Why should these 2 be different?
I thought it had already been decided that Williams childhood nanny was given the position. I must have missed something. Anyway, it is a smart move on Catherines part, she needs the help whether she wants it or not. She is going to be very busy and isnt going to have the time to be a fulltime mom.

I must have missed it but which Nanny of Williams is supposed to be coming out of retirement? Since William attended Nanny Powells funeral it cannot be her.
