Kate and William ask his former nanny, 71, to care for Prince George

Prince William and Kate have asked his 71-year-old former nanny to help look after baby George, it was reported today.

Jessica Webb is said to be considering the offer of coming out of retirement and being the 20-day-old prince's first charge.

Young William and Harry were shielded from their parents' bitter divorce by the nanny who never married or had children of her own.
