Here’s the thing: Even though they’re family, it’s becoming increasingly clear that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry plan to raise their first child very differently from how Prince William and Kate Middleton are raising theirs. Let’s break it down, shall we?
Breaking the Mold: How Harry and Meghan Are Doing Things Their Way
First things first, the baby—expected to arrive sometime in April—won’t carry the same royal titles as Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. That’s already a big difference. And let’s not forget, this little one will be seventh in line for the throne, so there’s no pressure there. But wait, there’s more. While William and Kate rely on their nanny, Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo, to help with their kids, Harry and Meghan have decided to go a different route. They’re tapping Meghan’s mom, Doria Ragland, to lend a hand instead.
“Doria’s going to be her child’s nanny,” a palace insider exclusively revealed to Closer Weekly. “The royals were insistent that she hire someone with international credentials and highly trained in security and self-defense, similar to Maria, but Meghan wasn’t having it.” According to the source, Meghan’s stance is clear: “It’s Doria or no one.” And while little George attends London’s Thomas’s Battersea, a prestigious private school, Harry and Meghan might choose an American school for their child. The Sunday Times reported that they’re considering the ACS Egham International School in Egham, which offers an American curriculum—quite the departure from tradition.

Parenting Philosophies: Raising a Child Without Stereotypes
While George seems to enjoy soccer and Charlotte loves ballet, Meghan and Harry appear to be taking a different approach. The former actress reportedly wants to raise her baby with a “fluid approach to gender,” steering clear of traditional stereotypes. A source told Vanity Fair, “Meghan has been talking to some of her friends about the birth and how she and Harry plan to raise their baby. Her exact word was ‘fluid.’” It’s all about giving their child the freedom to explore who they are without being boxed in by societal norms.
