What It's Like To Become Royal Parents | Secrets Of The Royal Babies | Real Royalty

this bring Windsor Castle will have a new royal resident born to the most modern royal couple the example that Megan and Harry have made by falling in love one another and not being hindered by anybody's old-fashioned stuff Eve ideas it is fantastic as her bump grows so do the column inches but how will Megan fare compared to royal mother's before her pay tour has been flawless and I don't think anything more could demonstrate that than when she's emerged three times with her three children will Megan be able to cope with the intense level of press scrutiny Diana herself once said that when she gave birth she felt the whole country was in labor with her how will she juggle mothering and her royal duties that was the thing which the Queen affirmed most difficult to balance you know to be a good Queen and also a good mother in this film we meet royal super nannies in training none even need to be bit like James Bond meeting Mary Poppins if you like take a look at who the new godparents might be if the royal wedding guest list invite is anything to go by this could be the most star-studded list of godparents in royal history and find out what a royal childhood is like under the glare of the modern media spotlight the nanny of our current Queen said Royals are only private in the womb but Megan I think we're seeing a Prince Harry that is viciously protective Harry the damnit my goodness again multiply that [Music] May 2018 watched by two billion people around the world Prince Harry drives off into the sunset with his new bride instantly there's only one thing on people's minds as soon as they've taken the confetti out of their hair the next story in the chapter was will they won't they have a baby Harry has been a brilliant uncle to Williams children but more than anything he wants to be a father and he is hankered after children for a number of years given Megan's age she was 36 when she married I think there was probably a biological pressure to start a family and in that engagement day interview you know Harry had hinted that you know it was certainly on the agenda children no not currently no no of course you know that I think you know one thing one step at a time and hopefully we'll all start a family in the near future Megan's upbringing was not the easiest of upbringing but that is something that Harry and Megan bizarrely have in common you long for a tight-knit family and this boy or girl will for Harry complete his world five months after their wedding keen-eyed journalists think they spot what they're waiting for as soon as I saw her step out of the car at Princess Eugenie's wedding in Windsor you know that sort of very deliberately loose cut box coat it was just a bit of a giveaway the mere fact of her holding a plastic folder in a suitable place is enough to get the world's media going royal babies are celebrity big game they really are they earn a huge amount of money and so people want to get the first scoop confirmation from Kensington Palace that Prince Harry and Megan are indeed expecting their first child the media splashes the news around the globe but such public comment on a royal wife's condition would have been highly frowned upon in the Queen's Day assume telly was pregnant just wouldn't be done I don't think they'd be sent off to Terra London at that point but still have to be careful instead the press was left to read between the lines of cryptic Palace statements the clue in those days was that a female member of the royal family had canceled all their engagements for the foreseeable future [Music] photographers would be advised to tactfully avoid taking pictures of Princess Elizabeth in what they described as her interesting condition it wasn't felt quite nice as it were for a woman to flaunt a visibly pregnant belly so she tended to retire a little bit by the time Diana and Charles married society had changed and the royal family felt it acceptable to make the news more public by this morning's announcement that your Royal Highnesses are to be blessed with a child but after the announcement the press most definitely did not allow the princess to gracefully retire in the early stages of Diana's pregnancy diana was photographed in a bikini on holiday in the Bahamas and the Queen was really annoyed and horrified about this first time that we'd seen remember the war family in that way you know this was unseemly for somebody who might sit on the British slow so she called a meeting at Buckingham Palace of all the editors of the national newspapers and she said you knew you simply have to leave the Princess of Wales alone but I don't think they heard he took any notice but the press wasn't willing to leave Diana or any royal mothers alone the world was just too fascinated by every detail of their pregnancies and so what they wore became front-page news when you look at those pictures of Diana in those tent-like dresses that was clearly very comfortable but weren't really anything on the fashion radar [Music] fergie with her famous sailor outfits i think even she would cringe at those today but they were of their time they were what young women were wearing in the 1980s far from hiding away royal mothers to be and now on show like never before and they have to dress accordingly the Duchess of Cambridge was very experimental sometimes she'd wear really fitted clothes sometimes she'd wear looser and floatier dresses but she always went for something that was a statement look at what Megas wearing today showing the bump you know really skin tight clothing Meagan was very used to strutting her stuff on the red carpet and looking fabulous glamorous dare I say it's sexy and clearly that's not something she's being completely prepared to give up but lordy very very Eiffel Tower high heels she looks incredibly elegant but she probably just wants to take those heels off and put on her flip-flops as Meagan like royal mothers-to-be before her starts to weigh up where and how to give birth one thing she'll be glad not to have to endure is the gruesome royal tradition of having her birth observed by a bunch of government officials the royal birthing chamber was a very crowded place I mean it's appalling to our eyes the closer you were to the business-end shall we say the greater your honor in Britain the protocol for having an official observer at every royal birth dates back to 1688 when James the second wife gave birth there were stories that a baby boy was smuggled in in a warming pan because it had been so long and no boy had been produced it was so controversial this wasn't true it probably was a real pregnancy but still it became gossip it became talked about and after that to get rid of any gossip all war births had to be witnessed by a senior politician so this ancient and in many ways archaic tradition had gone on for centuries in this country the birthing room was contaminated by these rather undignified and ungraceful men and from the government and Victoria said I have to deal with these men every day and I don't want them watching me give birth very rightly so they had to wait in an adjoining room unfortunately for the Queen's mother the official observer tradition was still going strong when she gave birth and Princess Elizabeth as then she was was born in a very extraordinary moment 1926 the year of the general strike it huge crisis for the government but in the middle of it the Home Secretary has to leave these mean midnight conversations about what to do with the nation to go and witness the birth of of the Queen the little princess was eventually born by cesarean section the Home Secretary immediately rang the Mayor of London and then the news was put out but when Princess Elizabeth's father came to the throne a decade later the official observers days were numbered by the time of George the sick that tradition was seen as being outdated outmoded and completely unnecessary Kate and Meghan will be absolutely thrilled not to have the presence of the Home Secretary when they are giving birth modern Royals may have evaded the official observer but they have hordes of probing eyes in a different guise to contend with anyone who marries into the royal family have to come to terms with the fact that their family belongs to them but also belongs to the nation will Meghan buckle under the pressure like some before her Diana was very emotional the car drove around the corner with her holding William in the back seat and she burst into tears as the royal bump swells the nation poises itself for the new arrival this amazing sort of rock-and-roll royal couple gonna have a baby you know it's understandable really that the public want to know everything they can about Meghan and Harry the parents Meghan's celebrity lifestyle adds to our fascination from her estimated 200,000 pound baby shower to the private jet that Amal Clooney hired to fly her home Meghan does have a very different look on how she lives and what she wears and how she is performing her duties as a role so people are interested harry has worked hard to transform his image this was him alongside Usain Bolt during his Caribbean tall to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Prince Harry may be sick in line to the throne but he is still consistently voted within the top three most popular Royals the thing that was always going to be a huge interest in this baby wind back the clock 37 years and I Anna dealt with similar press overdrive when she was expecting William Diana herself once said that when she gave birth she felt the whole country was in labor with her there was just this huge public interest all anyone can do is wait something Diana wasn't prepared to do Prince William was apparently induce she says later oh it so it fitted in with Prince Charles's polo match but I think really she couldn't take any more undoctored will take a decision to induce a child if they think that the mother is fraught and suffering and so an anxious Diana made her way to the now world-famous Lindo wing where the Queen's surgeon gynecologist was based when I had my daughter there it was very Spartan compared to what it is today and it really wasn't a smart room at all there was no ensuite bathroom but the staff were simply wonderful and the medical care was first-class Diana is believed to have had long but straightforward Labor's giving birth standing up supported by Charles sucking on Ice Cube's for comfort I think Kate was keen to follow in those footsteps to continue that historical link with the hospital but also quite simply because it is the best after suffering from terrible morning sickness Kate entered the Lindo wing through a secret tunnel but once inside her births went remarkably smoothly Samarco sexual the Queen's obstetrician and gynaecologist came out of retirement to deliver Prince George I mean there was a team about 21 staff close by the delivery room they weren't going to take any risks speculation that Meghan may give birth at the Lindo wing has mounted if there's one person that Meghan can take advice from and should take advice from it's Kate so it's time for the photographers and camera men to get ready for another week in a drafty London Street waiting Megan might follow the traditional location but will her birth plan be as traditional Meghan is a trendsetter in so many ways and she is also a Californian so you know this might be a little bit more of a holistic birth Megan it holds a lady in Birkenhead recently who was a hit and a birthing practitioner the work you're doing is amazing so I can imagine given her interest in yoga and meditation it's very much something that she'd want to look at and there might be speculation that she'll give birth up a tree you know reared by me some crazy stuff comes out reality is they all be surrounded by some expert attention they will be as well looked after as you could possibly dream and they will do it their way [Music] Megan may well want to go without pain relief but if it all gets too much she can seek the type of help first championed by a royal mother of nine before her we think of Victoria as this matriarch but oddly enough and for such an icon of domesticity she found the whole business disgusting the shadow side of marriage she called it of course when she began bearing children it was still before any really effective pain relief Queen Victoria found out that there were obstetricians and these artists in Edinburgh specifically that were allowing women to have chloroform during labor and having pain free births and she thought that was wonderful well who wouldn't she was urged not to set this bad example by some in the religious establishment but Victoria was having none of that she wanted the Blessed chloroform Terri coats is an expert on how women coped with childbirth in centuries gone by here's the chloroform mask the sort of mask she might have used for chloroform or possibly ether and it would have been placed over the nose and mouth and the ether or chloroform would have been dripped onto the fabric so when Queen Victoria asked for the pain relief her 8/9 babies she was really doing something that was completely out of the ordinary and she sort of blazed a trail for other women to have pain relief for labour megan has reportedly hired a birth coach called a doula to help her have a natural labor but will that mean Harry's left pacing outside I think that Harry is so likely to attend the birth I think he'll be there doing yoga moves with Megan and I think he that Harry has a very important duty and that is to call the Queen so what normally happens is that there is an encrypted phone that cannot be tapped and he'll tell her girl or boy so the Queen will know before Charles before Megan's mother that's the way it works the Queen knows first because she's a head of the family finally the moment comes to introduce the bundle of joy to the nation the importance of which cannot be underestimated after Prince Charles was born it was something like a month before cecil beaton was invited to take official pictures to be released and because not much had been seen before that they really were rumors that there was something wrong with the baby but by the time the Royals started giving birth in hospital much to the public's delight first appearances came much sooner [Music] [Applause] when Diana emerged on the steps of the Lindo wing this was totally novel because royal babies went from being a sort of private and protected rehearse species to public property and I think that's the moment things changed I don't think anything's been the same really quite since then diana was very emotional I think the car drove around the corner with her and holding William in the backseat and she burst into tears roll forward 30 years and the strain would only intensify for the next royal mum to step out of the Lindo wing the Duchess of Cambridge was under a phenomenal amount of pressure I mean I can only assume that she knew that her job was going to be to walk down those steps hours after giving birth and present her baby to the world there were hundreds of us so the walk up or we they just feel that they have to come out as soon as they can because otherwise they think that they're committing problems for the doctors for the nurses and for these normal young couples who come out with a baby and then they're confronted with the world's press good evening it is a boy and the Duchess of Cambridge gave birth to a son and for 24 this afternoon this is seen [Applause] Kate did have an army well not an army list says it's a little troupe of hair stylists makeup artist because obviously she wanted to look her best she's always been flawless almost too perfect and I don't think anything more could demonstrate that perfection than when she's emerged three times with her three children in fact some mothers complained you know she's setting to higher standard for motherhood because she turns up on the steps of a hospital hours after giving birth looking like a movie star so this is putting pressure on us with the first glimpse of the new baby snatched bets are placed and the nation awaits for the names to be announced the British public were really excited but we're really anxious and we just can't wait to get this thing started and to find out if it will be prince or princess Lord or lady I suspect they probably will choose to have titles for their children whence Charles will be king and I think he'd want his grandson or granddaughter to therefore carry an HRH title but they may decide not to use the title that they don't have to use it Prince Edward's children don't it's very much up to the parents and what they decide what they can be called you're not going to see princess Peppa sad as it may be so if you want to call your child to learn or peach then don't marry into the war family although I doubt we'll see a full-blown American name maybe they will be a little bit bolder a little bit less royal in their choices than William and Kate felt the need to do but I do think there probably will be a more traditional choice of war names for this baby we may see an Elizabeth in there somewhere if it's a girl and a Philip in there somewhere if it's a boy when the names finally been decided and in Charles's case it took a full month the royal christening can finally commend the guest list may be short but the list of traditions to be followed is most definitely not for many years royal children were christened in the gown that Queen Victoria had her own children christened in and which was made from her wedding dress Frannie was christened in this and I was looks remarkably describe you this Chrisman gown was worn by 62 royal babies over the course of its 163 years of service but obviously that became very old and it was remade using a very very similar fabric it's an in fact there's extra fabric so that if - needed to be made then they would be able to have two gowns widespread stories throughout Megan's pregnancy has suggested that extra gown may well be needed there have been rumors that perhaps she has sought fertility treatment all sorts of rumors about IVF all sorts of rumors that she might be carrying twins but they are just that rumours and the palace won't comment on them and that is deemed a private matter what we are told is that they are expecting a baby in the spring which suggests that it's probably not twins if the rumours were to be true it would be the first time the royal family has had twins for 600 years all royal babies are christened in water taken straight from the river Jordan but the christening location is more open for discussion I think there's a strong chance that maybe Sussex could even be christened at st. George's Chapel which would be a fantastic moment for Harry Megan to relive their wonderful wedding day there but it's also where Harry himself was christened after the service the Queen talked to Princess Anne's children about a new puppy if the new royal baby's christening is held at Windsor will we see the return of some a listers in a different role this could be the most star-studded list of godparents in royal history and a fee if the royal wedding guest list invite is anything to go by you know you might see the Clooney's popping up as godparents the Beckham's who knows I mean why not Megan's background being as it is you know she is close friends with some very famous people so I think it would be it will be very very interesting to see their choice of godparents the christening photos are often an opportunity to see the whole royal family gathered together in an intimate setting Kent Gavin was chosen to be the official photographer for Prince William's it was a great honor William never stopped crying throughout the whole photo shoot until Diana put a little finger into his mouth pictures went along swimmingly there at the big group the small group everything went fine when it was over I realized it was the Queen Mother's birthday and the picture of the youngest and the oldest had to be taken it was missing and I thought to myself well if I don't do this I'm gonna be asked why you're not gonna get another crack at it you're gonna do it so I walked across to the Queen and I said excuse me ma'am there is a picture I think we should have and she went goodness me why isn't that not lilius so the Queen called out mother mother you must come out out she came with a pink dinner tonight remember and she put it down on the table and stumbled over walked over not a stumbled over and sat down on the on the bench and Diana gave William across to her and she looked up at the camera and grinned laughter head of cuddling William and when they asked for the official set of pictures at the palace they were so pleased that shot was in there but after the godparents have gone home the photographers departed Harry and Megan can finally retreat to their New Windsor family home I think that the hard work really does begin when all the fanfare has died down because that's when you are lived new parents with a new baby and that's when it gets very tough speculation is that they won't have a Manny they'll be hands-on parents well I can't wait to see you area two o'clock in the morning I think you'll get a nanny [Music] in the grounds of Windsor Castle lies Frogmore cottage a former home for Windsor palace staff and soon-to-be baby Sussex his new home I think it was quite a surprise to everybody when it was announced that the Sussex have would be leaving Kensington Palace after all this was Prince Harry's childhood home Harry finds the constraints of Kensington Palace too much he was the one that said that Kate is a prisoner there because although it's absolutely beautiful the minute you go outside the protective walls you've got people gawking at you you're in the middle of the city but you can't go down the road I mean Megan calm it crossed with Harry and go and have a glass of chardonnay down the road with her friends you can't go anywhere I mean it must be suffocating though it was described as some sort of evidence of a rift between her and Kate nonces Harry grew up with the cameras constantly trained on him that's not the childhood he wants for his own children Darren McGrady was personal chef to the Queen and Princess Diana for over 15 years he also used to live next door to Frogmore cottage a 10-minute walk down the hill from the castle it's a beautiful place to live it's so peaceful so tranquil the castle grounds are so big you know they can just hide away they'll be in their own little cocoon open in the backdoor into the gardens of Frogmore and just being able to go walking and have that new family time together and actually for Megan as traditions dictates she will have at least six months maternity leave and why won't she be happy with that six months the take stock let's not forget this is still a whirlwind romance you know two and a half years ago they hadn't met builders have been working on Frogmore cottage for months to turn it into a home fit for a prince and his new family at the time I was there that was staff accommodation and so a lot of money's gonna have to be spent on sort of making this a beautiful home I think Megan probably does have quite firm ideas about interiors we know from her previous social media accounts that she had a particular aesthetic for a home in Toronto it was very Instagram of all we hear these stories about vegan wallpaper and celebrity interior designers yeah I mean that's possible but if you're Prince Harry you've grown up in palaces all your life trust me the appeal of a nice open fire and a little cottage it's amazing they'll want to make it homely small enough where they don't they don't have to echo down hallways they want to be together Harry is a country person and although everyone thinks Megan's an urban girl I think she's a country girl too and their way out to make the house the way they wanted which is extremely fortunate as children princesses Elizabeth and Margaret also relished and escaped from the media glare in the city and the stuffiness of the royal court and retreated to gloms Castle in Scotland life at the palace was very restricted because it you know it was a working office but at gloves they could roam freely all over the place of whom one of gloms castles turrets lies a hidden trove of rarely seen photos of the Queen and Princess Margaret as little girls climbs castle was the family home of the Queen Mother so obviously we have a lot of Records and and lovely photographs relating to princesses Elizabeth and Margaret so a lot of these photos wouldn't have been seen by the public before it's very much a private family album weather permitting it was very much an outdoor lifestyle here they went horse riding dog walking and here we can see Princess Elizabeth jumping the hedge in the Italian gardens loved being outdoors I think they had to mean this amount of freedom here the papers include letters from Princess Elizabeth to her grandmother so she's writing here in August 1937 darling granny thank you very much for having us to stay with you at gloms it was one of the happiest weeks I have ever spent and she even goes on to see it was very dull here today after class so she clearly enjoyed her visit sorry may not be the only school boy to have got drunk and spoil different than his misdemeanors a subject in national examination modern Royals now have a 24-hour news cycle to contend with having grown up in the spotlight himself William has zealously protected his children's privacy the letters went out from the palace to every editor asking for them to leave privately and not to be arrests and that if they did overstep the line then there would be legal proceedings it is a big deal for William and Kate to bring their children out in public especially as this was princess Charlotte's first big engagement they will not tolerate the paparazzi taking pictures of their children and if official pictures aren't released we really don't get to see them at all I think Kate will him are doing a very very very good job of protecting their children from the prurient interest of the press and at the same time allowing us and off access to see them and because the public feel that there's some ownership over these poor kids the royal family provides an opportunity to explore something extraordinary and forget the ordinariness of our existence like watching a soap opera but a soap opera that's real but sometimes the soap opera becomes too much in 2016 Harry made an unprecedented step of attacking the press when his new girlfriend Megan was harassed saying she'd been subject to a wave of abuse outright sexism and racism with Megan I think we're seeing a Prince Harry that is viciously protective understandably a viciously reactive to criticisms of her Harry the dad my goodness again multiply that I hope for his sake that he's able to kind of just take a step back don't take this all to heart one way Harry can protect his child's privacy is to follow a much more intimate personal style of portraiture adopted by his sister-in-law a lot of the time now Kate takes her own pictures and the system to the media and we get them that way Kate is quite good at it so yeah well she's got the access that made it a lot easier than that he didn't seem over keen on the intrusion who are all these people in my garden that know royal child can retreat from a nation hungry for adorable images of young princes and princesses for too long and when they do appear every tiny detail is noted even in the days of the Queen's childhood if she wore a frock you know within 48 hours it would be copied and on sale in America in today's world people just go online and buy the same thing and it's huge business in 2015 it was estimated the annual contribution of Princess Charlotte and Prince George to the UK economy was a hundred and seventy seven million pounds fully aware of the impact every piece of clothing will have how will Harry and Megan dress their child harry's joked about some of the outfits he was made to wear as a little boy so I suspect he's not going to put his child in anything that he wouldn't be happy wearing when you look at William and Kate's children a little look like they've been dressed as extras from Enid Blyton thoughtful you know the little shorts and the black shoes and the little socks it's all very very traditional I think we'll probably see Megan and Harry perhaps a little more modern you know I wouldn't be surprised to see this at all this little toddler romping around in a pair of dungarees after her maternity leave is up Megan and Harry will both have a packed royal schedule will they need the services of an elite nanny to look after the baby in their absence nannies will need to be a bit like James Bond meeting Mary Poppins if you like and impose that sometimes hard to achieve strict royal discipline they were little monkeys so Diana was having a lot of trouble making them do what she wants them to do once tooked away from the madding crowds in their new home in the grounds of windsor castle who will hariom megan turn to for help with their new baby they actually have a very scaled back team of domestic staff you know Megan does all of the cooking but I don't think you're going to find maternity nurses and night nurses there are pretty hands-on couple I think Harriet clearly adores Doria Ragland Megan's mother and I think she'll play a pivotal role in those early early weeks and according to plans for renovations to fromel cottage there will be a granny annex so that when Daria stays there'll be a special place for her to stay at the cottage but with most of her friends over in the states and a mother only here some of the time once she goes back to work there's one royal institution Megan is likely to really need the wall nanny is so important to the royal child and many world children that they are utterly devoted to their nannies and never forget them the Queen's nanny Bobo she was always by her side she was devoted to the Queen literally the night before the wedding before she was about to marry this handsome prince the Queen had loyal Bobo sleeping next door to her there in a way she went straight from the nursery to the marital bed nannies were all but essential for the Queen to fulfill her role the Queen has been called the world's number one career woman and that was true obviously a lot of her time would be taken up you know with royal duties and I think that was probably the thing which she must have found most difficult to balance you know to be a good queen and also a good mother Perry benefited from the huge change in royal parenting style chosen by his mother Princess Diana brought that tender loving caring emotional side into the royal family Charles had parents substitute all his life and Diana said that she was never going to bring up her children in the way that he'd been brought up which was to be so emotionally distant from your parents Diana insisted she took her boys on royal tours something that had never been done before Diana couldn't escape the need for a nanny but was determined it wouldn't be the usual stiff starched matron type Diana said she wanted a far more modern nanny but of course that it didn't really work because Diana actually wanted the children all to herself she had a wonderful nanny called Barbra barns and Diana became jealous and would pick on Barbra and it just became untenable so in the end Barbra had to leave Diana would have another battle on her hands implementing the usual strict discipline expected of a royal child Diana insisted that she should be the one that should smack her children if anyone should and again in those days you could smack your children but and the Queen was quite shocked at how wild William and Harry were they were little monkeys so Diana was having a lot of trouble making them do what she wanted them to do Diana did say that at Fergie's wedding when William was a page she thought she might to have to put a line of Smarties along the aisle so that Prince William would keep his eyes straight in front but in the end although Prince William fiddled and jiggled he did behave quite well for Prince William by the 90s the Windsor nursery was bursting with royal children and their nannies but I think the funniest part of all was actually the order of rank that went on in the Royal nursery when one of the nannies would say well why didn't we do roast chicken this evening my children love that and Prince William and Harry's nanny would say I think we'll do filler to beef the boys all like that I don't think it was about the boys it was about nanny there's always domestic politics at Kensington Palace and rumours have been especially rife since Megan's arrival what inspiration might Harry am Megan take from the ups and downs of their childhoods to guide them through Parenthood as parents William and Harry will always be influenced by their mother her desire to try and give them a taste of real life normality runs through the veins of William and Harry Megan's parents separated when she was two she grew up in a broken family but actually to both of her parents credit she grew up in a family that was happy nonetheless and she's a very very close relationship with Daria and I think she is going to want to make sure that she has a very close relationship with her child Harry tends to follow in his brother's footsteps and weirdly William tends to follow in Harry's footsteps there are this weeds were mentors to each other and so I would expect with with when Harry becomes a dad he will look at William and Kate's example and he will follow that almost to the letter William and Kate have tried to be as hands-on as their busy lives allow me Prince William famously changed nappies got up in the middle of the night to do feeds I mean he really doesn't make a song and dance about it but he has been a very hands-on father William and Kate do do school pickup they do bath time they do tea time saying that when they go away on tours Carol's always there to help look after the children's I think it's very much joint childcare between Carol and Michael Middleton and Anne Maria Maria is the Cambridge's Spanish nanny who resides in her own apartment at Kensington Palace Maria burello was a brilliant appointment and she's very rarely photographed she's very rarely seen but she is always there Morello is a prestigious norrland nanny her degree from this Bath College could set you back 45,000 pounds and it's the go-to place for Royals when they need childcare we say that we are steeped in history but focused on the future [Music] the purpose of play is to think about how children are developing their gross motor skills and remember a lot of development is about rhythm being in the oil and money it really is like the best of the best so you get not only a degree from working here you also get your northern diploma which you can't get anywhere else one of the things that Nolan is well known for is the Norland uniform it's become fairly iconic something that receives a lot of attention sometimes controversy but it's been around for 126 years but while Norland have kept many of their traditions they have also moved with the times providing their nannies with essential skills for those looking after 21st century VIP children [Music] we do Skip and driving to be able to handle a car in a situation where you've got your charge in the back and you need to make sure it's as safe as possible for the children we learned how to defend ourselves and how to defend our charges if we came into a dangerous situation military intelligence officers for example come to the College a bit like James Bond meeting Mary Poppins if you like I think that's how some people have put it but even the best nannies can't guarantee good behavior all the time obviously royal children everybody wants a picture of them having a meltdown and Princess Charlotte had a bit of a meltdown which of course you know with court on Cameron they produce very charming wonderful pictures will Harry hire a traditional nanny like William has or will he keep the family units just him Megan and their new baby they'll probably think they can cut with a but the reality is when they're trying to do royal duties it's almost impossible all the speculation is that they won't have a nanny rarely hands-on parents well I can't wait to see you area two o'clock in the morning I think you'll get a nanny when is a castle has witnessed many Royals come and go its walls could tell a thousand stories but what will its new residents bring to the royal family the fact that the child of Harry and Megan will have a mixed racial heritage is a very positive thing for the royal family there's a lot of people in Britain as well as beyond a lot of the Queen subjects who will I think feel more connected to the royal family because of it the example that Megan and Harry have made by falling in love one another and not being hindered by anybody's old-fashioned stuffy ridiculous out-of-date ideas that one cannot have a blended family or a mixed-race baby it is fantastic that that is happening in our monarchy I think it's really time to overturn the the white blue-eyed blonde princess me if and that every little girl if she wants to be can be a princess or she can be an astronaut but away from any royal significance in essence Harry and Megan are just two new parents striking out for the first time Harry and Megan will very much carve out their own idea of parenting remember that obviously they're going to do it the right way everybody is just longing to see what their modern way is Perry has been desperate to have kids of his own desperate so that's an exciting time for him and you know I hope his child is ready for all kisses and love but Harry's gonna bestow on my prediction for Harry and Megan's baby is it will be a girl if we want me to hazard a guess I say boy I think it would be nice if Princess Charlotte had another little girl to play with if Harry has a boy in 18 years time tabloid reports we'll have a lot of fun my hunch is it's a girl but one thing is for sure we don't have to wait too long [Music]
