Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan are known for being insufferable bosses — as readers know, the Sussexes have lost about 25 executive employees in just the past few years. But sources say that’s nothing compared to the number of nannies and other household staff they’ve chewed through!
“You only hear about the professional positions, but the [number of] household staff departures is much higher,” royal expert Kinsey Schofield told NewsNation in March. “It actually became kind of comical because during a certain period, it felt like every week there was … someone new who left.”
Though a rep for the couple says our report is “untrue,” Schofield says working for the Sussexes is beyond brutal.
“I spent a lot of time with Meghan, and the way she treated me can only be described as dehumanizing,” Schofield claimed a former nanny told her. “Her mask dropped after six weeks!”
The royal couple reportedly burned through three nannies before they even got to America. And while one babysitter has remained with them for five years, Schofield says the family also has two additional nannies and a rotating cast of support crew that are at their beck and call at all times.
Another royal expert, Brontë Coy, slammed Meghan for calling herself a “working parent,” given her endlessly replenished brigade of babysitters. “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 told The Sun‘s Royal Exclusive Show.

The duo, who ditched the U.K. in 2020 to embark on a now-sputtering mission to conquer Hollywood, require their nannies to work at least 50 hours a week — and only top candidates need apply, according to an application viewed by NewsNation.
In order to qualify to look after Archie, 6, and Lilibet, 4, applicants must have a college degree and a minimum of five years’ experience. They must live 20 minutes or less from the Sussexes’ $14.65 million manse, sign a no-cell-phones-while-driving pledge, have a CPR certification, be a competent swimmer and preferably speak Spanish or French.
“The family is looking for someone who is warm, professional, intuitive and experienced,” the want ad also specified. “A team player who can collaborate easily with others in the home and navigate the needs of the family with confidence and care.”
News of their domestic disasters comes as the Sussexes become increasingly isolated from the Hollywood elite, who seem to be avoiding them at all costs.
“They’ve worn through any goodwill they had” when they first arrived, an insider tells Globe. “People in L.A. are sick of them.”
