Overnight incident: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry suddenly fired son Archie’s nanny 28.02.2023, 19:35

The 41-year-old American actress and the 38-year-old British prince are raising two children – 3-year-old Archie and one-year-old Lilibet. The couple’s son was born in London when the couple were still working members of the royal family, their daughter was born after they resigned and moved to the United States.

The couple were initially reluctant to hire a nanny for Archie, but changed their minds after Meghan Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland, returned home to the US. Journalist Omid Scobie, who co-authored a book about the Dukes of Sussex, “Finding Freedom” and is considered their confidant, made rare revelations. He said Meghan Markle and Prince Harry married a childcare assistant, but she lasted a record-breaking amount of time in their home.

“They decided to hire a night nanny to set up their sleep schedule and be an extra pair of helping hands. But their time together was short-lived due to an overnight incident. Meghan and Harry were forced to fire their nanny in the middle of her second night for being unprofessional and irresponsible,” Scobie said.

It was a bad experience with the first person they hired for Archie, dissatisfaction with her behavior affected their trust in the second person. However, Meghan and Harry decided to try a different nanny. According to Omid, both were nervous, but the assistant “did a great job.”

“None of them were comfortable sleeping through the night without checking on Archie regularly. So after a few weeks they decided to let the nanny go and take over the night duties themselves. But they still decided to keep an assistant and kept her as a day nanny who worked on weekdays, “said the biographer.

Unlike Kate Middleton and Prince William’s nanny, Meghan and Harry’s assistant did not live with them at Frogmore Cottage. “Harry and Meghan have agreed that they do not want their house to be filled with staff. Harry saw this situation in William’s house and didn’t want the same for his family. He and Meghan liked the idea of ​​just the three of them in the house when they went to bed at night. Cozy and secluded,” the Scobie Mirror quotes.

The Netflix documentary “Harry and Megan” featured Lorren Khumalo, who was Archie’s very second nanny. She assured that the proposal of the royal couple was a complete surprise for her.

“They called me and said, ‘Prince Harry and Meghan would like to see you and talk to you about Archie’s care. I said, “Wait a minute, I have to sit down.” I remember driving to them so fast that I got a ticket. When I arrived at Frogmore Cottage I saw this guy, he’s tall, red-haired and barefoot. I went and bought him new slippers at Clarks. And suddenly the formality just disappeared, I felt so relaxed. They were really hands-on parents – in the morning when Archie woke up, mum and dad were the first ones,” said Khumalo.
