Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have done away with royal protocol once again.

This time, it’s in relation to who can and can’t have access to their new baby boy, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor.

Now in their ninth day with Master Archie, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have chosen not to hire staff to help with their little man’s early days.

Instead, they’re relying heavily on Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland, who flew to the UK from her home in Los Angeles, California, to help her daughter pre and post-birth. 

And the 62-year-old American is relishing in her duties as a first-time grandmother.

Royal expert Katie Nichol revealed to Grazia UK that the new parents are going it alone, with only the aid of Doria.

Katie said a source explained, “They don’t yet have a nanny or a team of staff and there’s no chef.

“Doria has been helping out, she has been indispensable.”

Doria’s starring role comes after it was revealed in 2018 that she’d been taking “nannying classes” at LA’s Cradle Company in preparation.
