The Prince and Princess of Wales live-in nanny Maria has been working for the family for years and is well aware of the strict rules she needs to follow in her job.

According to the Mirror, Maria is not allowed to use the word kid or kids, as it's considered.

Respectful.

Louise Herron told the publication the word kid is banned.

It's a mark of respect for the children as individuals.

Herron went on to reveal Maria must keep her nails short and clean with no nail polish.

Her hair must be cut or tied back off the collar in a bun and out of her eyes.

Nannies must also keep jewellery small and discreet, and makeup is kept to a minimum.
