The young children stayed at home with their nannies and governesses, just as she had done as a child in the late 1920s and 1930s. Charles's nanny was "very authoritarian", said the new king's biographer, royal author Penny Junor. "Elizabeth was a young, new mother and this very experienced nanny took over... she waited for the nanny to bring Charles to her for half an hour at tea time or whatever it was," she told AFP.
