Meghan Markle and Prince Harry WON’T be hiring a nanny for their baby – but will rely on help from gran Doria
PARENTS-to-be Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will reportedly not hire a nanny - but will enlist in Granny Doria for a helping hand.
The Duchess of Sussex's mum will have her own room once the couple moves to their new home, Frogmore Cottage in Berkshire.
Doria Ragland will step in to help her daughter and Prince Harry rather than the traditional royal practice of hiring a nanny, according to .
Most royal parents, including Prince William and Kate Middleton, chose to hire professional help to raise their little ones.
Harry himself was looked after by his beloved nanny - Tiggy Legge-Bourke - and invited her to his wedding last year.
The couple told the magazine that they did not 'initially' intend on hiring a nanny, it is understood to be room for one in their new home.
DITCHING TRADITIONS
Whether Doria will move to the UK or split her time between here and LA still remains a mystery.
The royal's nannies are often trained at Norland College and wear a distinctive and traditional brown uniform.
They don a below-the-knee dress with Peter Pan collar, brogues, brown hat and gloves and undergo a three-year degree course at the prestigious school.
The nannies then go off and work for rich and famous families - including the royals.
GENDER-NEUTRAL
The pair, who have decided not to find out the sex of the baby until its birth in spring, has been keeping busy by designing the gender-neutral nursery in the grade II listed building.
Frogmore Cottage, built for Queen Charlotte and her unmarried daughters in 1801, is nestled away in the grounds of Frogmore House in Windsor.
Harry, who has a love for gadgets, is said to be ensuring their new arrival's bedroom is secure with high tech precautions.
