Why was Archie nanny fired?
The tell-all book, which is published today, is co-authored by journalists Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, and claims the reasons behind the Duke, 35, and Duchess of Sussex, 38, decision to let go of the nanny were because, 'Meghan and Harry felt they were forced to let the nurse go in the middle of her second night of work for being unprofessional,' the co-authors wrote.
It's claimed the night nanny was instead of having a nanny full time, after Meghan's mum Doria returned back to the US.

The book reads, 'The new parents went on to hire a second night nurse, who did a fine job, but because of the incident with the first nurse, neither found themselves comfortable sleeping through the night without going to check on Archie regularly.
'After a few weeks, they decided to take on nights themselves and went without a night nurse entirely.'
