PRACTICALLY PERFECT Prince Harry doesn’t want Archie’s nanny wearing a uniform like Kate and ...

PRINCE Harry reportedly banned any nanny wearing a uniform for baby Archie as he didn’t want his life to be like ‘Mary Poppins’.

Meghan Markle went through three nannies while trying to find the perfect person to look after baby Archie.

The Duke of Sussex is said to have ruled out any childminders in uniform after starting their search for a nanny, following the arrival of Archie Harrison in May.

The 34-year-old is said to have compared them to ‘Mary Poppins’, claiming he wants Archie to have a ‘normal’ upbringing.

Royal commentator, Omid Scobie, said: “One of the things that Harry said was, ‘I don’t want a woman in a uniform around my child.

“This isn’t Mary Poppins, we’re going to have a normal household,” he told Yahoo’s The Royal Box.

The dad-of-one snubbed the elite Norland nannies - who look after The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's children – in their instantly recognisable uniforms.

Maria Teresa Borrallo, a Norland graduate, looks after Prince George and Princess Charlotte, and is often spotted out and about with the children.

The Norland nannies are required to wear uniforms while on duty, which includes hats and gloves.

But the nanny the Sussex’s have opted for was spotted wearing casual clothes when boarding a private jet for a holiday with the family.

How about Stiletto Heels, Fishnet Stockings and a Bustier?

Now THAT’S a Nanny!

Great Britain will soon be bankrupt. I see the Monarchy wealth shrinking. Exile will be in our lifetime. The Muzzies smell blood.

He’s speaking about a “normal upbringing” in conjunction with “nanny”. Maybe it’s only me who thinks that’s weird.

If the nanny was a normal woman, maybe Me-again would be jealous and afraid of the competition? Me-again will never be satisfied with anything or anyone......this nanny will probably go the way of the dodo bird within the year.

First, Mary Poppins didn’t wear a uniform.

Second, the Royal’s household is anything but normal. ME-ghan will and already has seen to it Archie will be brought up as royal as royal can be. A change in nannies every 3 weeks, snort. Even Granny Doria came for as long as it took to snap a selfie with the baby and got the heck outta there despite the fact the taxpayers sent a fortune fashioning a suite (including vegan plant paint for the walls at Frogmore Cottage) for her to stay in while being the granny-nanny.

Each of the royals get X million$ from the trust (taxpayers) to pay for their staff and their standard of living and all their travels. Can’t have the royals living like peasants.

Now, now, ME-ghan was shamed into flying commercial today to see Serena play tennis in NYC. Sorry, Meggie but even commercial leaves a carbon footprint.

That’s why so many of her staff have quit. She’s even dictated to their lowly neighbors down the street from Frogmore. She’s decreed when she’s out walking the dogs that no one is to speak to her or the dogs.

There are more important things in raising a child than uniforms of nannies.

The Norland nannies are trained in martial arts. They can protect the children should anyone try to grab them.

Reminds me of Richie Rich's butler/valet, Cadbury. He could do it all.

There’s this new thing called a mirror, Meghan. Look in it and maybe you’ll find the person who should be raising your child.

Harry and Meghan want their child to have a ‘normal’ childhood yet when they decided to move away from William and Kate they asked to live in Windsor Castle!! That’s where the queen lives when she’s not in London.

The queen said absolutely not. It’s inappropriate.

Harry inherited a bundle from Diana. I believe he could be comfortable if he chose to leave The Firm. But, I imagine that will never happen. They enjoy the benefits of the BRF and their so-called celebrity. They appear to be trying to make the most of both while they can.

In Sunday school one of the wealthy women who has 2 children at home made a comment along the lines of, “We let our nanny and house cleaners go so I could take care of the kids. After 6 months, it was too much for me to handle, and I’m so glad we hired them back. Everyone should have a nanny and house cleaners.” Her husband is retired (at 51) and she has never worked (even in the home).

Of course, our church group has the whole range of income levels, from very little to more than enough, and it’s very tone deaf to make comments like the above. When you haven’t ever struggled, you don’t know what it’s like.
