Does a housemaid's mode of dressing matter? What is the best way for a housemaid to be dressed? Does a nanny or housemaid's mode of dressing affect how they perform their duties or how they relate with their masters?
It was touted as a modern and relaxed affair but for many Australian commentators one thing about the christening of Princess Charlotte stood out: the nanny.
Royal nanny Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo’s traditional dress has baffled many royal watchers in Australia, where the press has decried it as a “uniform fail”.
One commentator savaged Miss Borrallo as looking like something out of a "community theatre’s production of Mary Poppins”.
“A tall drink of water she was not thanks to the dowdy rags,” wrote Jenna Clarke for Fairfax Media. “The nanny… resembled a lukewarm latte picked up from a roadside fuel station.”
"Norland College has been educating 'professional child minders since 1892' which coincidentally appears to be the last time they updated their uniform," Clarke added.
Ms Borrallo, who the press previously labelled a "Spanish supernanny", was described as a "right Royal fashion victim” by Sydney's Daily Telegraph.
The nanny, believed to be in her mid-30s, resembled a lukewarm latte picked up from a roadside fuel station. The traditional uniform consists of a beige mid-length gown (presumably covered in Scotchguard), ivory pantyhose, orthopaedic, synthetic shoes, white gloves, a nurse's upside down lapel watch and a brown bowler hat with the letter "N" pinned to the front.
