Prince William Honors Nanny with Royal Medal

Prince William presented the Royal Victorian Medal in Silver to Maria Teresa Turrión Borrallo, the longtime nanny to his children, during an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle on March 24. The honor recognizes her dedicated service to the Prince and Princess of Wales and their family since 2014.

Turrión Borrallo, a Spanish native trained at the prestigious Norland College in Bath, England, joined the household shortly after the birth of Prince George in 2013. She has cared for George, now 10, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, through their early years, accompanying the family on occasions such as christenings, royal tours, and the king's annual Christmas lunch. Although she does not live with the family at their home in Windsor, her role remains essential, particularly as the children attend school and participate in extracurricular activities.

The Royal Victorian Medal, established in 1896 by Queen Victoria, is awarded at the monarch's sole discretion without input from government officials or committees. It signifies personal loyalty to the royal family and differs from more public honors like Member of the Order of the British Empire or knighthoods. Recipients...
