Lorren Khumalo, from Zimbabwe, speaks in the couple's new Netflix show, revealing she got a speeding ticket on the way to Frogmore Cottage after getting the call to work for the couple. 'When I arrived at Frogmore cottage I see this guy he's tall, he's ginger and walking barefoot and I have got these new shoes from Clarks and suddenly whatever I thought or felt the formality just sort of slid and I felt so at ease,' she recalled.
The professional nanny currently works as a neonatal intensive care (NICU) and pediatric nurse at the private maternity hospital Portland, in Westminster.
The Portland hospital is where royal women have given birth for generations and the palace where both Prince Harry and his son Archie were born.
After Archie's birth Meghan's mother Doria was at Frogmore Cottage for a month, and was present when her daughter brought Archie home from the hospital.
The Duchess said: 'My mom stayed for a month solid, and it was great to have her there.
'But we were in a position where we didn't have someone to help us with Archie.'
Lorren recalled the day she was asked to work for the couple, saying: 'I had this phone call and they were like "Prince Harry and Meghan want to see you, they want to talk to you about being a nanny to Archie". I said, "Hang on I need to sit down". I remember just driving so fast, I got a ticket actually, yes I did.'
Lorren described how the couple were 'really hands on parents' and they would come in to see baby Archie in the morning, and feed him before the nanny would take over from them and take the newborn out for a stroll.

Pictures of Archie wrapped in a traditional African mudcloth were revealed, a nod to Meghan and Harry's link to the country - the pair spent time in Botswana doing charity work and before they both embarked on charity missions to the continent. The cotton mudcloth has cultural significance in Africa, and is used as ritual protection and a symbol of status.
Lorren asked the couple if she could wrap Archie in a mudcloth, and Meghan enthusiastically agreed.
The Duchess said: 'She said is it OK if I tie him on my back with a mudcloth? Like we do in Zimbabwe? I said, "Yes let's do that".
