Prince George’s Private Nanny Got Fired After 9 Years – What She Did Next Went Viral Overnight
In a move that shocked royal insiders and longtime royal watchers alike, Prince George’s longtime nanny, Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo, was reportedly let go after nearly a decade of loyal service to the Cambridge household. But it wasn’t her dismissal that captured the world’s attention — it was what she did next that went viral across social media in a matter of hours.
Maria, who had been caring for Prince George since shortly after his birth in 2013, was more than just a nanny. Trained at the prestigious Norland College — known for producing elite nannies for high-profile families — she had become a steady, almost invisible, presence in the lives of Prince William and Princess Catherine’s children. Her sudden departure raised eyebrows across the UK, though the palace has not issued an official statement regarding the reason.
According to close sources, the decision was described as “amicable but firm.” Some speculate it was due to a shift in the family’s lifestyle and public roles, especially as Prince George enters a new chapter in his education and development. Others hint at behind-the-scenes changes as Princess Catherine continues to take a more hands-on approach to parenting.
But what truly surprised the public was Maria’s unexpected reappearance on social media just days after her departure — something she had never done before, in line with royal staff protocols. In a bold move, she launched a personal video diary on a new public platform, sharing insights from her time as a nanny, parenting tips, behind-the-scenes moments (without violating confidentiality), and empowering advice for caregivers around the world.
Her first video, titled “What I Learned from Raising a Future King,” quickly amassed over 10 million views overnight. In the video, she did not speak ill of the royal family. Instead, she praised the children’s manners, Princess Catherine’s devotion as a mother, and the importance of discipline, structure, and emotional intelligence in early childhood development.
Viewers were instantly drawn to her calm demeanor, her warmth, and the rare glimpse into what it takes to help raise a royal child. Parenting bloggers, educators, and even celebrities reposted her video, calling it “inspiring,” “brilliant,” and “full of wisdom.”
“She turned a private exit into a public empowerment,” said parenting expert Linda Harper. “It’s rare to see someone leave such a high-profile role and immediately uplift others with their knowledge, not scandal.”
Now, Maria is said to be considering book deals, speaking engagements, and possibly launching an online masterclass for aspiring nannies and parents. From royal caretaker to viral phenomenon, she has redefined what it means to exit gracefully — and powerfully.
As for the royal family, there has been no negative response to her sudden rise in popularity. Some insiders even suggest that Prince William quietly supports her new mission, recognizing the value she brought to the family over the past nine years.
In the end, Maria Borrallo may have lost her job — but she gained a platform, a following, and a new purpose. And the world is watching.
