Royal nannies have saved their charges’ lives, died for their charges, won the heart of the king, and, in one case, even felt the wrath of Princess Diana.
Kat was released and allowed to stay with Elizabeth. According to biographer, when her charge became queen in 1558, Kat was made Mistress of the Robes and First Lady of the Bedchamber. She was also one of the few people who could speak frankly to the strong-willed queen. Elizabeth was distraught when Kat died in 1565. “We are more bound to them that bringeth us up well than to our parents,”
At the height of his power in the 1670s, King Louis XIV, France’s brilliant Sun King, would often stop by a cozy home at 25 Rue De Vaugirard in Paris. Here, according toHe found a charming, tender mother figure, with one child on her lap, another at her shoulder, a third in a cradle, reading a book aloud. ‘How good it would be to be loved by a woman like that,’ he mused.

But Françoise, who the king nicknamed “Madame Solidity,” was more interested in saving his randy soul than becoming the latest royal mistress. Instead, she became his best friend, religious advisor, and therapist.
