Prince Harry and Meghan Markle initially promised their nanny a generous salary, along with paid housing, vacation time, and other benefits.
However, things quickly took a turn for the worse. Although the nanny found the mansion beautiful and enjoyed spending time with the children, she became increasingly confused and concerned about when and how much she would actually be paid. At first, Harry reassured her not to worry, explaining that their assistant was still sorting out the payroll paperwork. But as weeks passed without any payment, her concerns deepened.
When she hesitantly brought up the issue with Meghan, she was reportedly met with a curt response. Meghan allegedly informed her that money was tight due to COVID-19 and that she would be paid retroactively. Unfortunately, the situation only deteriorated from there. The nanny claims she routinely worked over 60 hours a week without receiving any pay stubs, pay slips, or contracts, despite her repeated requests. After five months of unpaid work, she decided she had had enough. Upon giving her notice, she alleges Meghan exploded at her, calling her ungrateful and replaceable.
Prince Harry, visibly uncomfortable, did not intervene. Deeply troubled by this experience, the nanny is now speaking out, claiming that other employees have faced similar mistreatment, both financially and through intense pressure and mind games. She portrays Meghan as an extremely demanding boss who rules the household with an iron fist, while Harry passively goes along with it. The nanny's account presents a starkly different image from the couple's public persona of benevolence and kindness.
Initially, I had my doubts about the credibility of this source. After all, accusing a high-profile couple like Harry and Meghan of such behavior is an extraordinary claim that requires substantial evidence. So, I decided to investigate further. Publicly available records show that the couple has faced lawsuits in the past year from other former staff members over unpaid wages, including a former security guard and an event planner. Additionally, I spoke to a friend familiar with palace protocol, who confirmed that Harry and Meghan's behavior was highly unusual and inappropriate based on standard royal work practices regarding payroll and employee relations. It's a bombshell revelation, but there's even more. My contact was also willing to share some inside gossip about the state of Harry and Meghan's relationship behind closed doors. She claims that the couple frequently engages in screaming matches, with Meghan often berating Harry to "man up" and stand up to his family to support her instead of being a "lap dog." Ouch. She also described their California setup as being very one-sided, with Meghan asserting total control over every detail, from decorating to the children's schedules, leaving Harry feeling useless and emasculated. This aligns with rumors from royal insiders that Harry is often left alone while Meghan schmoozes and jets off without him. It paints a very different picture from the loving, in-sync image they present to the public.
Regarding parenting, the nanny alleges that Meghan prefers the nannies to handle most of the hands-on duties, such as changing diapers or comforting a crying baby at night. She describes Meghan doting on Archie and Lilibet only when it's convenient for photo ops or when visitors are around. The nanny also shared that Harry and Meghan's relationship with Prince Charles and Prince William remains distant and frosty. She revealed that a recent supportive family photo was highly staged and tense behind the scenes. Of course, Harry and Meghan's PR team has denied these new claims, accusing the nanny of fabricating lies to profit from their fame. However, there is no evidence that she was seeking or receiving any money for her story. Given the consistency across multiple employee complaints and testimonies from industry professionals about the couple's dysfunctional behavior, which doesn't align with standard protocols, there's a lot of smoke, and it's hard to believe there's no fire.
This situation has completely shattered my rose-colored view of this high-profile couple. All their talk of compassion and wokeness starts to ring hollow when they can't even treat their own staff with basic human decency. Clearly, something bigger is going on behind the scenes of their lives. What do you make of these shocking allegations? Do you believe the nanny's story? Is this drama giving you secondhand embarrassment for them? Sound off in the comments. Meanwhile, rest assured that I'll be following this story closely for any new updates or denials from Harry and Meghan's team. I can imagine lawsuits are looming, too, if more former employees feel empowered to speak up. Whether true or not, this saga is getting messier by the minute.
