According to reports, Fresolone is 42 years old and has no children. She in fact commenced her new duties for Prince William and Kate Middleton two weeks ago, moving into a staff apartment near Nottingham Cottage where the royal couple are living until their new apartments are refurbished.
One source has said to the Express newspaper in the U.K.: "The queen will have given it her blessing. She does not like to stop people progressing through the ranks and will be happy that William and Kate have someone they can trust."
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge had previously posted an advertisement requesting someone with a "high standard of housekeeping" and to ensure that "all areas of the residence are cleaned and maintained to a high standard at all times."
It is believed that the housekeeping job has a salary of about $35,000 (approx. GBP 23,000) as well as free accomodation.

The lullaby is called "Sleep On," and Mealor has said, "After writing music for the Royal Wedding. It seemed natural to provide the musical accompaniment for the next stage of the royal couple's journey together."
