Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have always been fiercely protective of their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Recently, they made a significant decision regarding their care by entrusting them to the most trusted guardian.
While royal tradition often involves hiring a Norland nanny to look after the children, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have opted for a different approach. Rather than hiring external help, they have chosen to keep childcare within the family.
According to a recent report, Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland, has taken on the role of the children's nanny. With Doria now living with the family in California, she has stepped up to help care for Archie and Lilibet.
A source revealed to The Mirror, "Harry and Meghan have used a number of nannies in the past, but now that Doria has moved in with the family, she has stepped up to help look after the children." They further explained that while there may be additional assistance, Doria is working closely with Meghan to ensure the children are raised in a loving and close-knit family environment.
Describing Meghan and Harry's reliance on Doria, a royal expert noted that they "only stop worrying" about their children when they are under her care. Another source highlighted Meghan's preference for her mother's involvement in childcare, stating that she feels "much more comfortable" with her children under Doria's watchful eye.
It's reported that Doria played a key role in caring for Archie and Lilibet during Harry and Meghan's trip to Nigeria. This decision underscores the couple's commitment to prioritizing family involvement in their children's upbringing.
