The Nanny Who Raised Three Future Monarchs — And Was Erased From History

The Nanny Who Raised Three Future Monarchs — And Was Erased From History On a cold January afternoon in 1964, an elderly woman was buried in a Norfolk churchyard with no wreath from Buckingham Palace and no royal mourner at the graveside. Her hands had once held two future Kings of England as newborns, and for thirteen years she cared for a third royal child his own family kept hidden from the world. Her name was Charlotte Bill. The royal children called her Lala. For more than four decades she ran the nursery at York Cottage, Sandringham, raising the six children of King George V and Queen Mary. Two of the boys she raised were crowned: Edward VIII and George VI. The sixth child, Prince John, was seventh in line to the throne on the day he was born. When his epilepsy became impossible to hide, the family moved him to Wood Farm, a plain farmhouse a mile from the main house, and Lala went with him. She stayed until the night he died in 1919, aged thirteen. Then the palace removed his name from the succession lists and let an entire empire forget he had ever existed. This documentary tells the full story: the abusive nurse who scarred two future Kings before Lala took over, the cold household of George V and Queen Mary, Prince John's hidden years at Wood Farm, the abdication crisis of 1936, the coronation of a stammering King, and why an institution that remembers everything decided the woman who raised three future monarchs was worth exactly one sentence in the history books.
