In a jaw-dropping revelation, Jessica Reid Krause, the former nanny for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s son Archie, has spilled some serious tea on social media.
Known for her Instagram account, @houseinahabit, which boasts over a million followers, Krause shared insider information that left many buzzing.
According to her, the couple’s latest nanny quit after being denied payment for overtime hours worked during her brief employment from August to October.
The situation escalated when Harry and Meghan reportedly expected their nanny to be on call around the clock while they jetted off to the UK, leaving their children behind in California.
It seems the nanny was left without notice and without fair compensation for the long hours she had put in.
This has sparked outrage among followers on Instagram, with many criticizing the couple’s treatment of their staff.
One user remarked, “Ridiculous not paying someone who lives paycheck to paycheck; I’d quit as well.”
The financial strain on the couple appears to be growing, with rumors of new lawsuits swirling around them.
Though they may not be entirely broke, their extravagant lifestyle seems difficult to sustain without a steady stream of income.
Many speculate that the pressure on Harry is immense, especially as lucrative contracts have dwindled, leaving them feeling bitter and vengeful.
While Harry and Meghan navigate their challenges, it’s hard not to compare their situation to that of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
The Wales children have enjoyed the stability of having the same nanny since Prince George was born, demonstrating a stark contrast to the frequent changes in care for Harry and Meghan’s kids.
Another Instagram commenter pointed out this inconsistency, stating, “How sad you won’t pay top dollar to people you trust your kids with shows how little they value not only their workers but their kids as well.”
Adding to the drama, Archie’s former nanny, Lauren Cumulo, recently recounted her first encounter with Prince Harry, which she described as surprisingly casual.
She recalled meeting him at Frogmore Cottage, where he was walking barefoot, instantly putting her at ease despite the royal setting.
“I felt so at ease,” she reminisced, describing how her nerves melted away upon seeing the tall, ginger prince.
Currently, Cumulo works as a neonatal intensive care and pediatric nurse at The Portland Hospital, a prestigious facility known for its royal clientele.
This hospital has been the birthplace of many royal children, including both Harry and Archie.
Reflecting on her time with the couple, she noted that Meghan’s mother, Doria, was a great help during Archie’s early days, staying with them for a month after his birth.
Cumulo vividly remembers the moment she received the call to work for Harry and Meghan.
“I had this phone call, and they were like, Prince Harry and Meghan want to see you,” she said.
The excitement was palpable, but it also came with a sense of urgency, as she hurriedly drove to meet them—so fast, in fact, that she ended up with a speeding ticket.
The dynamics of working for such high-profile clients can be intense, especially when expectations are misaligned.
With the nanny situation drawing public scrutiny, it raises questions about how the couple manages their personal and professional lives in the spotlight.
