Why Prince Harry, Meghan Are Just Like All Struggling Parents Despite Their Royal Status

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are new parents. And even if they are both royals, they’re just like all other parents who are struggling in life.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have a handful of royal aides who help them out with their day-to-day needs. But since they both want to be very hands-on when it comes to taking care of Archie, they tend to divide their parenting duties.

Meghan breastfeeds Archie, while Prince Harry is usually in charge of changing his son’s diaper. The Duke of Sussex is also the one tasked to prepare food for guests who visit their son at home.

Just like other struggling parents, the royal couple also needs to deal with other people’s opinions about every single thing that they’re doing. Since they’re very public individuals, royal experts and fans tend to challenge and correct their parenting style.

Weeks ago, reports swirled that Meghan is considering to raise Archie as a vegan. Immediately after, a royal expert claimed that Queen Elizabeth II will not tolerate Meghan's desire to do so.

At present, Meghan is still on maternity leave, and Prince Harry is also on vacation just like the other members of the royal family. In the next few months, the couple will return to their royal duties.

During this time, the couple needs to be able to find someone whom they can leave their son with. It has been reported that several individuals have tried to apply as a nanny for Archie, but an insider claimed that the application process is pretty much like an audition.

Prince Harry and Meghan are very meticulous when it comes to whom they leave their son with. And sometime in the fall, they have decided to bring Archie along with them to South Africa when they go on their first-ever royal tour as a family.

When Princess Diana was still alive, she also struggled with the same thing after giving birth to Prince William. She agreed to go on an overseas tour with Prince Charles on the condition that the Duke of Cambridge will be traveling with them.
