\n

Although this can be hard to prove on the royal stage, a former staff member who worked for The Duke of Sussex and Meghan Markle<\/a> has shed light on just how down-to-earth the couple really are.<\/a>\u00a0This goes back to her first-ever meeting with them,<\/a> when she was applying to be Prince Archie\u2019s nanny in 2019, not long after he was born.<\/span> It is believed the couple, who were still working royals at the time, needed a nanny to help them when they were carrying out royal engagements at the same time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This resulted in them holding interviews at their Frogmore Cottage home where they interviewed Lorren Khumalo, a paediatric nurse and consultant.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

While Lorren expected it to be a formal interview and meeting, she revealed that she was surprised to turn up and be greeted by Prince Harry<\/a> with a hug, with the duke also being barefoot in jeans and a T-shirt.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Speaking on The Breakfast Club with Zenzele Ndebele, Lorren said: \u201cWhen I got there, the way he opened his arms ‘Hello Lorren!’ and gave me a hug. [I thought] ‘Wow, what a gentleman, what a gem’, oh my goodness, I couldn’t believe it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cAnd when I walked in and saw Meghan I thought ‘My God, what a beautiful woman’. I just felt so comfortable, it wasn’t as formal as I expected it to be, it was just a normal home.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It is believed she enjoyed her time working with Harry and Meghan, and being involved in the young Prince Archie\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Meghan has also openly praised Archie\u2019s former nanny, including in the 2022 Netflix<\/a> docuseries Harry and Meghan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Talking about Lorren, Meghan said: \u201cShe didn’t just take care of Archie she took care of us, she definitely took care of me.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
