The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have called on a royal nanny to help with their newborn baby boy, Archie Harrison. While the couple are hoping to keep personal details of their member of staff private, HarpersBAZAAR.com has revealed that the British-born female nanny recently started her job at Frogmore Cottage. She does not live at the royal residence and does not work weekends. HELLO! understands that the royal nanny will accompany Harry and Meghan on their upcoming tour of Africa and care for Archie while his parents are attending engagements without him.
The extra help comes as Archie is about to turn six weeks old next Monday. Prince Harry and Meghan welcomed their first child on 6 May and ever since, the Duke has showed no signs of slowing down.

Meghan, meanwhile, returned to the spotlight to celebrate the Queen's birthday at Trooping the Colour last weekend.
