In fact, the bonnet was a charming and very thoughtful gift from the mother of the Duchess of Cambridge’s live-in Spanish nanny, Maria Teresa Turrion Borrello.
Widow Maria Teresa Borrallo sourced the present from an exclusive children’s boutique called Irulea in San Sebastian, northern Spain.
It is understood she told the store owners that she had read about their beautiful clothes and asked for several pictures to be sent to her, before going to the shop personally to make her final choices.
