The Prince and Princess of Wales have the help of a Norland nanny

The Prince and Princess of Wales live by strict protocols as senior royals and it is no different for their three young children Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six.

However, the royal parents have also created rules of their own when it comes to raising their brood with the influence of their Norland nanny showing up in their approach to parenting.

Speaking to Netmums, Norland-trained nanny and co-host of The Sleep Mums podcast, Sarah Carpenter, opened up about the rules the skilled childcare professionals are bound by.

A royal parenting ban

“For a Norland Nanny, shouting at or raising our voice around our charges is completely banned and rightly so as it does not allow children to feel empowered or supported,” Sarah revealed.

This no-shouting approach is one the Waleses use with their children. Good Housekeeping reported that controlling the volume of one’s voice is a strict household rule, revealing that communication is paused with the young princes and princess when voices are raised.

It has also been reported that shouting results in removal from the situation and that William and Kate prefer to discuss emotions with their children on a “chat sofa”.

This alternative to the naughty step or to a ‘time out’ means that the children’s emotions can be unpacked. The royal parents reciprocate the no shouting rule meaning they don’t allow themselves to shout at the children if the children can’t shout at them or each other.
