Why Do Meghan Markle And Prince Harry Need A Nanny For Archie?

Only a few months old, little Archie is no-doubt tiring out his mother Meghan Markle and father Prince Harry, so they have decided to hire a nanny to share the load at Frogmore House.

The couple, who celebrated their one year wedding anniversary in May, hired the childminder ahead of Meghan's return to Royal duties in autumn and to aid her over Harry's busy schedule this summer.

It is also worth noting their are rumours swirling the family will be taking their first 'holiday' around October. Their holiday will in fact be a Royal Tour around multiple African countries, reportedly, Botswana, Angola and Malawi.

We don't know about you, but a jam-packed work trip that includes international press, state dinners and three outfit changes a day seems like the kind of thing you might need help with, especially if you're going to have a six-month baby in tow.

Due to their busy schedules and, let's face it, their ability to afford it, it is commonplace for the royals to hire nannies for their broods.

The Cambridge's hired their live-in nanny Maria Borrallo back in 2014, and she can often be spotted at family events keeping cheeky Prince George in check.
