Considering Prince George turned out to be such a hellion as a baby, you’d think that Duchess Kate and Prince William would be preparing themselves for more of the same. Like, Will and Kate are pretty boring people, but maybe their joined DNA produces really sassy, grumpy children full of personality? And if that’s the case, why not hire some extra help for the new baby? Well, according to People Magazine’s sources, Will and Kate aren’t going to hire anyone new. Yet.

Prince William and Princess Kate may have started searching for a new housekeeper to work at their vast country home, but they’ve indicated that they won’t be hiring another nanny for when they have two under the age of 2 at home. Kate, 33, and William, 32, have Maria Borrallo, the full-time nanny they brought on last year to help with Prince George, 20 months, and they have no plans to add a second.

“They are happy with the arrangement,” a royal source tells PEOPLE. “If anything changes it wouldn’t be for a while.”

Once William starts flying helicopters for the East Anglia Air Ambulance service, the family will be largely based at their 10-bedroom country home, Anmer Hall, in Norfolk.

One person who worked with Princes William and Harry when they were small believes they will eventually hire some more help. Ken Wharfe, who was a personal protection officer to Princess Diana and her sons, tells PEOPLE, “They may not have one initially but they’ll have one ultimately, in six months to a year. When George is being taken out, someone’s got to stay in and look after the other one. They’ll have to have a reserve nanny to do the babysitting when the other’s out.”

Kate, who tried last time to go without a maternity nurse, did eventually get one to help out after she and William reached out to friends when they were staying at the Bucklebury home of Kate’s parents. This time they may do the same, palace insiders expect. And a source tells PEOPLE that they have already committed to getting one.

So… we’re just parsing with the titles then? Don’t yell at me, I know a maternity nurse is different than a nanny, but if you’re hiring a maternity nurse, you do have help! And I think that’s smart. I did get the feeling that Kate thought she could do a lot of stuff by herself (or with just Carole’s help) when George was little, but within a few months, that dream had died. And it’s so weird to me that Will, Kate and their people still want to publicly insist that they barely have any “help”. Hiring people to help with the children is one of the least controversial things about Will and Kate, you know? Anyway, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if Kate “makes due” with Maria the nanny and a baby nurse for a few months and then SURPRISE, we’ll find out mid-summer that they are looking for another full-time nanny.
