The Royals’ nannies come from an elite English school
In order to be able to become a nanny at the royal court at all, strict training is required in advance. The elite nannies mostly come from the so-called “Norland College” in Bath.
At the school, students learn, among other things, about language development in children and self-defense. Cooking, handicrafts, sewing and embroidery are also on the agenda. There’s just one thing nannies never do: cleaning. Despite the many skills, the Queen had to fire one of Charles’ early nannies.

The royal author Bryan Kozlowski wrote the story about the nanny of the then eight-year-old prince in his book “Long Live the Queen!”. In it, as quoted by Britain’s Mirror, the lady’s picky ways about Prince Charles’ meals have become a problem.
Kozlowski writes: “It is said that she took pleasure in tormenting the palace kitchen with its high standards. Little Charles’ dishes were constantly being rejected or re-prepared, all at the sole mercy of the nanny’s personal whims. The queen finally had enough and fired her.”

The trigger for Queen Elizabeth II’s patience tearing, however, was allegedly an incident with a “special pudding”. The nanny apparently resisted a dessert idea from the Queen for her son and simply removed the pudding from the menu. It didn’t go down well with Mom at all.
Kozlowski’s book states: “In 1956, the Queen simply asked the nanny if she could give Charles, then eight, a special pudding that she thought he might like.” The nanny refused, removing dessert from the menu and incurring the wrath of the crown. No one cancels the Queen’s wish.”
