Kate Middleton and Prince William have decided to hire a maternity nurse for their second child.
The Royal couple broke with tradition by refusing to get a full-time nanny after the birth of Prince George, but it appears they feel raising the newest member of their family independently would be too much of a strain.
A source close to the couple explained to the Daily Mail newspaper: "It was really hard work with George and there were lots of sleepless nights. So Kate has said she’s going to have help with the next one."
Kate and William are expected to raise their second child in their new home at Amner Hall in Norfolk.
The source said that the property has been refurbished so that the Royals can raise their children in the best possible surroundings, explaining: "There is a nanny annex and a guest suite with plenty of space for Kate’s family. Kate and William plan to go to their own family home after the birth."
Meanwhile, it is expected that Kate will make a decision about whether she does or doesn’t make a planned trip to Malta – to mark the island’s independence – in the coming days.
It’s thought the Duchess may cancel her visit as she’s been suffering with severe morning sickness.
