Meghan Markle will reportedly follow in the footsteps of Kate Middleton and hire royal nanny
Meghan Markle is reportedly planning to follow in the footsteps of Kate Middleton, as she is now set to hire a royal nanny.
The expectant mum is only a few weeks away from welcoming her first child with Prince Harry.
She’s confirmed to have attended her last public engagement and while Kensington Palace revealed she will still be taking private meetings, the Duchess of Sussex is probably starting to get ready to meet her baby.
But with her due date around the corner, have Meghan and Harry made arrangements for childcare?
According to Vanity Fair, the pair have enlisted the help of Meghan’s mum Doria, who will reportedly be moving in with them at Frogmore Cottage on the Windsor Estate.
However, the Express reports that Meghan and Harry will also follow in the footsteps of William and Kate and get professional help form a nanny.
