Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have done everything they can to shield their baby Archie Harrison from the public eye since he was born in May this year.
But as the couple have strived to protect their son, it’s been reported that they’ve isolated themselves from their staff in doing so.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been the subject of backlash for their conflicting approach to public life.
On one hand they have sought out the people’s support for causes close to their heart – particularly with their SussexRoyal Instagram account – while on the other they have kept their son out of the public eye and his life completely private.
In fact, the last time the couple shared a photograph of their son with fans was after his christening in July.
Which is something that has angered critics as they feel it doesn’t sit with their status as royal family members.
And with so many people speaking out against the couple, they’ve had enough.
According to the Mail on Sunday, Harry and Meghan have now cut themselves off from members of their staff, turning instead to the Duchess’s mother, Doria Ragland.
As the royal pair repeatedly come under fire from the public, Doria has become their most trusted advisor, according to the publication.
“People think Doria is hippy-dippy and chilled out because she’s a yoga instructor,” a source told The Mail on Sunday.
“But, like any mother, she’s hard as nails when it comes to protecting her daughter.
“Harry adores Doria and thinks she’s incredibly wise. These days, the Sussexes trust very, very few people even in their own respective families.”
With the Duke and Duchess set to travel to Africa later this month on their first royal tour as a family of three, it’s hoped that the couple will give their fans another glimpse of baby Archie.
