Who is Araceli "Lillie" Piccio?
Araceli "Lillie" Piccio was the former nanny of Prince William's brother, Harry. She is a nurse from Bacolod, Philippines, who was a member of Lady Di’s household staff. She is currently working in London under a different employer. Aracelli have a sister who is a society columnist in a Bacolod paper, Nimfa "Buddai” Piccio.
According to Nimfa "Buddai" Piccio, "As usual, the invitation states that’s it’s good for the one invited ‘and one’.”
Lillie's Entrance in the Royal Family of United Kingdom
Araceli "Lillie" Piccio said she was working part-time at ITV-4 when a lady (the one who recruits "candidates” to the Royal Household Staff) approached her and asked her if she wanted to work "with the Royal Family.” Lillie was told that the job would include arranging the Royal Couple’s things (clothes, etc.) and looking after their children. Lillie was hesitant, not wanting to be confined to a nine-to-five job again (she’s a nurse, remember?), but she reconsidered.
Lillie's Work in the Royal Palace
Araceli "Lillie" Piccio was the nanny of Prince Harry, and Prince William, too. According to what Lillie told to Buddai, "that as a kid, William, only a toddler when Lillie started working for Lady Di, was hyperactive". He would run around the place while playing hide-and-seek with brother Harry and their mom who was usually barefooted at play. Everytime Lillie got a bunch of pasalubong from the Philippines, she would share some of them with Lady Di whose favorite was preserved mango.
