Archie’s former nanny recalls unforeseen first meeting with Prince Harry and Meghan

• Lorren Khumalo, a paediatric nurse and consultant, was brought in to care for Archie.
• She met Harry and Meghan when they were living at Frogmore Cottage.
• Explains how she chose an outfit for the interview meeting with the Sussexes.

The nanny hired by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to care for their son Archie has spoken out about their first meeting.

Lorren Khumalo, a paediatric nurse and consultant, was brought in to care for Archie in the months following his birth.

It was during the time when the Sussexes were living at Frogmore Cottage before leaving their royal roles to relocate to the United States.

Lorren recalls going to Frogmore for the first time to meet Harry and Meghan, and how she was put at ease by Harry’s very informal greeting.

She explained how she chose an outfit for the interview meeting on an episode of The Breakfast Club with Zenzele Ndebele.

She said: “I thought to myself, ‘I wonder how their nannies look, do they wear heels?’ Prince William has got a Norland Nanny, so they’ve got a brown uniform that for my skin colour and the way it looks in khaki brown, I knew it wouldn’t even go, it would just not work.

“So I [thought] I’ll wear something dark and nice kitten heels but I’ll look presentable for a royal so I need to do my best. But I didn’t use any make-up, I said if they take me, they take me as I am.

“So I got there and there’s lots of checks that they do but when I got there I expected to see a princely somebody, in those very expensive German, Swiss suits or something,” she said, admitting she got a speeding ticket for driving “too fast” on her way to Frogmore. He was dressed in jeans and a T-shirt, and he was walking barefoot because it was hot.

“And I kept asking his PPO, or his protection officer, ‘Do I have to curtsy?'” And he just looked at me and laughed and he said, ‘You’ll see, Prince Harry is amazing’.

“When I got there, the way he opened his arms ‘Hello Lorren!’ and gave me a hug.
