Even when they were working royally, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made it a point to hire a nanny to look after their eldest, Prince Archie, despite their hectic schedule. Like Prince William and Kate Middleton, they only hired a nanny back then. And this nanny reveals details of what it was like working for Harry and Meghan and looking after Archie.
Lorren Khumalo spoke about what it was like meeting them when they were still working members of the royal family and living at Frogmore Cottage in an episode of The Breakfast Club with Zenzele Ndebele, resurfaced by the Mirror.

She went into the meeting worried about what they would be like, only to be pleasantly surprised at how relaxed the Duke and Duchess were. “He was wearing jeans, a T-shirt and walking barefoot because it was hot,” she said. “When I got there, the way he opened his arms was, 'Hello Lorren!' and hugged me. [I thought] “Wow, what a gentleman, what a gem. Oh my God, I couldn't believe it.”
She added: “When I walked in and saw Meghan I thought, 'My God, what a beautiful woman.' “I just felt so comfortable, it wasn't as formal as I expected, it was simple a normal home.”
So it's clear that Harry and Meghan are like any other household: calm, relaxed and loving. We love watching it, to be honest.
For those who don't know, Harry and Meghan started dating in 2016 and by April 2018 they were married. They have two children together named Archie, born in May 2019, and Lilibet, born in June 2021.
