In the 1950s, the nanny of the young sisters Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret caused a scandal when she sold her story about working for the future Queen of England and her family.   The governess Marion Crawford, was promptly ostracised after working for the British royal family since the 1930s.  More recently in the 2000's a documentary was made about 'Crawfie'; The Nanny Who Wouldn't Keep Mum.
