Meghan Markle and Prince Harry hired a third nanny in six weeks to take care for their son Archie after the previous two stopped working for the royal couple amid rumours that Duchess of Sussex is difficult to work for.
Royal sources explained that the choice of a nanny is a highly personal decision and the couple might just want to get the right one for their child, reported Fox News.
However, several royal watchers speculated that the nanny rotation, among a number of staff changes for the Duchess of Sussex, was another sign that Meghan is difficult to work for.
Sources close to the couple said that nanny for the baby was a personal matter and that Buckingham Palace does not comment on staff hiring.
"Often there are different needs at different stages of the baby's life. The first nanny was a night nurse," the source said.
"But Harry and Meghan do not want to rush this or take any risks getting this decision right. It's deeply personal and can depend on the needs of the baby and parents," the source added.
