When Prince William and Kate Middleton touched down in Canada on Saturday, they weren't alone. Not only are they traveling with their little ones, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, but they also have a rather large entourage.

Yes, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge come complete with a team of 12 staff members that assist them in everything from their hair to their Twitter feed to dressing the kiddos.

With that being said, as the couple continues along their latest Royal tour, let's take a look at who's who in helping them do so:

The Stylist and Personal Assistant: Natasha Archer

"Tash" (photographed on the right) can be held accountable for Kate's impeccable style since her second pregnancy. The stylist has been working with the royals for three years but became the duchess' stylist later on. She's been Kate's right-hand woman in everything from the Royal Tour of India and Bhutan to the iconic dress she wore leaving the hospital after giving birth to Prince George. 

She also assists Kate as a personal assistant.

The Hairdresser: Amanda Cook

Kate's look wouldn't be complete without her perfect tresses. Cook has worked with the duchess since the Royal Tour of Singapore and Malaysia in 2012. She's trekked up a mountain in Bhutan and even awaited the births of Prince George and Princess Charlotte to touch up Kate's locks whenever necessary.

The Nanny: Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo

Having worked with the couple since 2014, the Spanish nanny takes care of Prince George and Princess Charlotte while the royal parents carry out various engagements during the tour.

However, she's also with the kids at home. Borrallo lives with the Duke and Duchess in Kensington Palace and Anmer Hall. She was even present at Princess Charlotte's christening as well as the Queen's birthday.

The Private Secretaries: Rebecca Deacon, Miguel Head, Laura Baker and Emma Mager

This tour marks the first time that more than two private secretaries will join the royals. Miguel Head is Prince William's private secretary and has worked in the royal office since 2009. He is joined by Prince William's assistant private secretary, Laura Baker. Together they work on setting up and organizing William's official engagements as well as attending alongside him.

Rebecca Deacon is Kate's private secretary and has worked with the royals since 2007, regularly accompanying the duchess on her royal engagements. Emma Mager is Deacon's assistant as Tour Secretary, supporting the whole team. An unknown operations manager will also assist them.
