Archie's latest nanny is a 'godsend' for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry
As the fall out over their private jet travel continues, a royal insider has given an insight into Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's life as new parents to little Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.
After trialling a number of nannies, their current new recruit is said to be a 'godsend' for the Royal couple.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's new nanny was spotted in photos of the couple landing in Nice, France for their family holiday at Sir Elton John's private villa.

"Meghan is a very hands-on mum but the new nanny is a godsend," a source told The Sun.
"She is extremely professional, with a number of nannying years under her belt, and has fitted into the family really well."
While the publication reports it's the couple's third nanny in as many months, 9Honey understands there have been other nannies trialled by the couple.

It's believed the unidentified woman will also travel with the family during their upcoming autumn tour of Africa.
"She's great with little Archie and just adores him. Harry and Meghan are very happy with her," the source added of the nanny.
While initially it was reported the couple were against the idea of getting a nanny, 9Honey's royal commentator Victoria Arbiter says the couple's senior roles in the monarchy mean the Sussexes need a helping hand.

"Royal mums often say they don't want nannies and you can understand why," Arbiter tells 9Honey.
"Like any mother they want to be hands on, they want to be present for all of their baby's milestones."
"Given Harry and Meghan's senior positions within the royal family, at some stage they are going to have to bring someone into their home to help," she notes.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge had the same feelings when they welcomed their first child, Prince George in 2013.
"They employed a housekeeper that had a number of different jobs that normally would have been done by a whole team of staff," Arbiter explains.
"But eventually it became obvious that George was going to need a full-time nanny."
The Cambridges hired Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo in March 2014, when George was around eight months old and has been with the family ever since.
