A specific choice.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly looking into hiring a male nanny, referred to as a “manny” for the royal baby.

Since Meghan won’t have her close friends and mother around her for a great duration after she gives birth, it’s reported by the Express that she’s looking into hiring a male nanny so she can raise her child with a “modern American approach” to parenting.

“Hiring a ‘manny ‘ is far more common in the U.S. — a nation that Meghan is more in tune with — than in the U.K. She’s keen to introduce the royal family to what she considers a more enlightened, modern American approach,” a royal insider explained to the publication.

The reports then continued that a male nanny might be of choice due to how close Prince William and Harry were with their nanny, Tiggy Legge-Bourke.

Tiggy taught the boys how to fish and abseil among other outdoor pursuits and had a more tomboyish take to fellow nannies when it came to getting out in the open air.

“He [Prince Harry] and Meghan have discussed nannies and both have an open mind to a male nanny. They will definitely try to shortlist one,” the source continued.

It is also expected that the royal nanny or “manny” will come from an elite nanny school in Bath.
