For Prince Charles’ 70th Birthday, Clarence House released two official photos featuring the prince and his family. The first photo shows the royals in their signature proper stance, while the second one depicts them as a down-to-earth, normal-looking happy family.
In the picture, everyone is laughing–from Prince Charles to his wife Camilla Parker-Bowles, Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle. The children, especially Prince George, are also giggling in laughter. So what made the royals crack up during their photo shoot?
According to Us Weekly, an insider revealed that the culprit behind everyone’s giggles was no other than the royal nanny, Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo. Ms. Borrallo has been with Prince William and Kate Middleton’s employ since Prince George was just a baby.
During the photo shoot, the nanny reportedly stood next to photographer Chris Jackson and started making “silly faces” to get the children’s attention. Not only did she put everyone at ease, but she also made the shoot more relaxed. According to the source, the shoot took only 15 minutes.

According to Cosmopolitan, Nanny Maria is in her 40s and has quite an impressive resume. She trained at a prestigious school for nannies and has a ton of experience. She also took self-defense, defensive driving, and anti-terrorism techniques courses. Prince William and Kate Middleton’s children are said to be fond of Nanny Maria, who now cares for all three of them.
Meanwhile, the Palace also released a couple of outtakes from the fun-filled photo shoot. One of them features the newest royal baby, Prince Louis, reaching to touch his grandfather while everyone is obviously smitten by his antics. Another picture shows Prince Charles carrying the seven-month-old in a loving grandfather pose.
Next year, the royal family will welcome another grandchild–Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s firstborn. According to sources, Meghan was already pregnant when the pictures were taken although she hasn’t announced it yet, even to the royal family. Prince Charles’ birthday shoot took place in September, and Prince Harry and Meghan didn’t make their announcement until mid-October.

Charles really knows how to drag out a Birthday.
He has been having celebration after celebration for the entire year.
How many times can he turn 70?
Hi, Pennie. LOL! Yes, you’re right. Maybe he’s surprised to have lasted this long. However, the family is known for its longevity. His grandmother made it into her 100’s.
Hello” Susan… I sometimes kid and say the Charles will probably cark the day after his Coronation. Just from the adrenaline rush.
Now, I don’t wish him any ill fate, but I think that was a plot on ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS or an old TWILIGHT ZONE / NIGHT GALLERY episode.
Can you imagine waiting 70+ years for a job?
But, here is the good news -bad news :
Good News :
Charles!! Congratulations. You are finally King
Bad News :
Your Majesty, your Mum is dead.
Classic O. Henry (Sidney Porter)
That is painful.. Just thinking about it.
Hope you are feeling better and can enjoy your company and Holidays,
“Life is made up of sobs, sniffles, and smiles, with sniffles predominating.”~S. Porter
Hi, Pennie. I love O’Henry! Do you remember his story about the poor couple who bought each other Christmas gifts? He bought brushes for her beautiful hair, and she cut and sold her hair to buy his gift. The ironies certainly mirror real life. You are spot on!!! Happy Thursday!
Hello, Susan…. THE GIFT OF THE MAGI!!! A classic tale of selflessness around the Holidays.
My favorite is the 2 bums that wanted to get arrested because they were homeless and hungry. They knew jail would house and feed them…. I forget the name of that story ( although it’s my favorite)
And who just doesn’t love THE RANSOM OF RED CHIEF?
Thank you for your (always) delightful posts and comments.
For some reason, that popped into my head when you said you had the sniffles..
Have a great weekend. Hope you get around to post something here or on CDL.
Pennie, thank you for reminding me of the title: “Gift of the Magi.” I read it so long ago and cried. “The Ransome of Red Chief” is also a great story. Our region is gearing up for our first snowstorm this weekend, and I’m planning out my cooking so I will only have to warm things up and make a side salad and/ or vegetable. Cream of potato soup, a chicken casserole, and manicotti should last about a week, don’t you think? It’s just my husband and me, so this should do. I hope you have a great weekend! “Talk” soon.
P.S. Do you like coffee? I love freshly ground and brewed Columbian. Too bad we cannot talk over the coffee pot.
