While everyone and their mothers claim that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been hitting marriage struggles, one former colleague, who was with them a lot in private, is telling a whole different story.

It didn’t take long for Harry, 40, and Meghan, 43, to employ Lorren Khumalo, a paediatric nurse and consultant, who first met the couple at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor. Lorren said that she was surprised to see Prince Harry walking around barefoot on their first meeting, with the prince immediately putting his arms out to hug her.
