Nanny drama details revealed: Why Meghan and Harry couldn’t take it anymore

Reports have revealed Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were “put off” hiring nannies after a bizarre “incident with a night nanny”.

In the event after Archie’s birth, the couple hired help to aid in the toddler’s bedroom routine.

According to The Mirror, author of Finding Freedom and rumoured friend of Meghan’s Omid Scobie told Channel 4, they had to fire the nanny just days into their employment.

“Very few people know the real story behind it,” he revealed on the broadcaster’s documentary A Very Royal Baby: From Cradle to Crown.

“After Archie’s arrival, Harry and Meghan wanted some help to establish a sleep pattern. They hired a night nanny.

“Whilst I can’t go into someone else’s employment details for legal reasons, it was an incident on one of the first nights that put the couple off from having a night nurse.”

The incident reportedly scarred the couple and put them off of hiring permanent help.

“Meghan and Harry were forced to let the nurse go in the middle of her second night for being unprofessional and irresponsible,” he explained.

The royal pair then went on to hire another nanny but were reportedly so disturbed by their last experience that they the night nurse not too long after.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex reportedly then looked for someone in the day.

“They moved onto number three. Which was a woman that worked for them for quite some time actually, until they moved to California,” Scobie said.

“She helped them out on very much a 9-5 basis, and it was a great working relationship actually despite reports.”

The royal family routinely uses nannies for day-to-day duties, and Prince William and Prince Harry are still very close to their childhood carer.
