Royal baby: Put yourself there as Prince William and Kate show off their little Prince

Royal baby: Put yourself there as Prince William and Kate show off their little Prince 

AFTER showing off their "big boy" for first time, more details of Kate and William's family life have emerged - and there won't be a nanny.

The royal couple have returned to Kensington Palace, where Pippa Middleton was introduced to her nephew – and took her boyfriend Nico Jackson along to meet him too.

The couple drove to the Palace to greet the newborn prince as he was being settled into his new home. They were among the first to meet him in private and were able to give him a longed-for cuddle.

While nannies and nursemaids have always played an important role in the lives of royal children, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are to depart from tradition with their son. Kate will look after the young prince without the help of a full-time nanny for the foreseeable future.

A Palace aide confirmed for the first time that the Duchess intends to do without a nanny, saying household staff were "not aware" of any plans to hire one.

Asked if the Duke and Duchess would have any help getting used to parenthood over the coming days, the aide said: "They have both got families that will care hugely for this baby."

The Duchess has made clear that she plans to spend a great deal of time with her own family. Michael and Carole Middleton have recently bought a Georgian manor in rural Berkshire.

Her mother Carole, who Catherine is very close to, has been described as a "Tiger mum", and is expected to be a "Tiger Granny" with her young grandson.
