If you've been constantly refreshing your inbox, hoping for a response to that resume you e-mailed to THATSPRINCESSKATE2U@royals.net a few weeks ago, crossing your fingers that you had correctly guessed her e-mail, we have some bad news: the search is over. Kate and William have hired a nanny for Prince George. While the name of this lucky woman (who now has a better chance of pretty much anyone else on the planet of getting to, like, watch The Bachelor with Kate, or borrow Kate's jewelry for "wacky" selfies) is still not known, we do now have more details. She's Spanish (and has been dubbed a "Spanish supernanny" by the British press), she's in her mid-30s, and she has more than 20 years of experience.

Ms. Supernanny has "worked for other prominent high-society families" for two decades, and that is how Kate and William became aware of her. It is believed that she will not begin her tenure until Kate and William return from their (somewhat controversial) Maldives vacation, as Prince George is currently being looked after by Kate's parents, Carole and Michael Middleton.

According to the Daily Mail, the nanny "is not married and doesn't have a boyfriend as her life is totally dedicated to the family she is working with," and she is "known for being totally professional-married to the job." This is as textbook as romantic-comedy setups get. If they don't get a movie into production by the end of the year with Paz Vega as the nanny (Jude Law as Prince William and, obviously, Meryl Streep as Kate), we will be severely disappointed. Imagine the tagline possibilities:

- She was taking care of Prince George, but who was taking care of her?
- She may have been a supernanny, but would she ever find her superman(. . . ny)?
- This summer . . . just because you live in a palace surrounded by royals, it does not mean you are one. (Cue Lorde's "Royals.")
