Former Nanny Says Meghan Markle Was 'Dehumanizing' to Work For — the Couple's Representative Calls It Untrue

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are back in the spotlight, and this time the focus is on the people behind the scenes — their staff, their nannies and the growing list of employees who haven’t stayed long.

A RadarOnline report points to turnover inside their household, raising questions about life within their inner circle.

Over the past few years, there’s been ongoing talk about turnover around the Sussex household. While headlines often track senior aides and high-profile departures, some observers say the bigger movement is happening out of sight. "You only hear about the professional positions, but the [number of] household staff departures is much higher," said royal commentator Kinsey Schofield.

"It actually became kind of comical because during a certain period, it felt like every week there was... someone new who left." The latest focus is on childcare.

According to accounts shared by royal commentator Kinsey Schofield, a former nanny described their experience working for the family. She said, "I spent a lot of time with Meghan, and the way she treated me can only be described as dehumanizing," the nanny said.

"Her mask dropped after six weeks." Arepresentative responding to the report said on behalf of the couple that the account is "untrue."

According to the same report, the high staff turnover reportedly predates the couple's move to California. Since settling in California, the couple reportedly employs multiple nannies and a wider support team working in rotation, according to sources. One nanny is reported to have stayed long-term, while others have cycled in and out over time.

Then there’s what it takes to land the job. The expectations, as described in reports, are detailed and specific. Applicants are said to need a college degree and at least five years of experience. CPR certification is required.

Swimming ability is expected. Living within a 20-minute radius of the home is among the listed requirements. Language skills such as Spanish or French are listed as preferred.

There are also rules tied to safety and availability, including commitments around phone use while driving, and schedules that reportedly run to at least 50 hours a week. The role itself is described in clear terms: "The family is looking for someone who is warm, professional, intuitive and experienced."

"A team player who can collaborate easily with others in the home and navigate the needs of the family with confidence and care." Beyond staffing, the conversation has also touched on public messaging. Royal expert Bronte Coy weighed in on how Meghan's public comments about parenting sit alongside reports of extensive household support.

"I have a son, but when I hear people from positions of great privilege – where they can afford nannies and a LOT of help – go on and on... about the working mum thing, I find that a little bit grating," Coy said.

The scrutiny has resurfaced as Meghan continues to expand her business ventures and media projects while raising two children in California. Subsequently, commentary about their broader standing continues to circulate.

"They've worn through any goodwill they had" when they first arrived, one insider said. "People in L.A. are sick of them." For now, the picture remains mixed, claims from sources, pushback from representatives, and ongoing attention from both sides.

Sources suggest the growing conversation around the Sussexes is no longer just about their public image — it is increasingly about who they employ and how long those employees stay
