Meghan Markle<\/a>\u2019s comments about juggling work with parenthood have been dubbed \u201cgrating\u201d by a royal expert. The Duchess of Sussex, 43, recently revealed on a podcast that she has had a nanny to help her<\/a> and Prince Harry<\/a> care for their children Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, three.<\/p>\n

The duchess said the family, who quit royal life and moved to Montecito in 2020, have had the nanny for five years. While it is believed Meghan and Harry, 40, are hands-on parents, News.com.au’s Royal Reporter Bronte Coy said that not many people can relate to Meghan\u2019s comments about \u201cjuggling\u201d it all when she has professional help.<\/p>\n

Speaking on The Sun\u2019s Royal Exclusive show<\/a>, Bronte claimed that she finds the comments Meghan has made about being a working mum \u201ca little bit grating\u201d.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cI have a son, and when I hear people from positions of great privilege where they can afford nannies and a lot of help go on and on and on about the working mum thing.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, it’s time away from your kid, I definitely understand that aspect.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou do have help. And also you are at home a lot. I don’t know. I find that a little bit grating.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Meghan tends to do the school run<\/a> before meetings, the duchess did reveal on The Jamie Kern Lima Show podcast<\/a> that the nanny sometimes has to do this instead.<\/p>\n

Talking about the family\u2019s daily routine, Meghan said: “[Archie and Lilibet] get up at 7am so I give myself a little bit of time to either put on workout clothes brush my teeth, get both of them, up I get them dressed get them downstairs, make breakfast and then if I haven’t done their lunch boxes the night before then do that. I love doing lunch boxes, it makes me very happy and writing a little note in their lunch boxes… If I don’t have meetings in the morning then I try to do school drop off.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey’re at two different schools, so that’s a big circuit. So from 6.30am in the morning on drop off mornings for me I’m not home till 9am. And then after that I’ll just jump into meetings.<\/p>\n

“And then on other days then I’ll wake up and get them all set and then our amazing nanny who’s been with us for five years, she’ll take them to school for us and then, yeah, we always try to…”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meghan Markle\u2019s comments about juggling work with parenthood have been dubbed \u201cgrating\u201d by a royal expert.
