When it comes to choosing a royal nanny,Meghan Marklehas got it covered.
“The Duchess of Sussex is up to date on all the different options, she knows what she’s doing, she’s done her research and she knows exactly what she is looking for,” Sarajane Ambrose, founder ofImperial Nannies, a leading childcare agency in London who has experience of placing nannies with royal families, tells PEOPLE.

As for what sort of nanny the couple will hire, Ambrose wont comment on whether they are using an agency such as hers, but she says the sort of childcare needed will be of the highest calibre.
“He or she has to be professional, discreet, do a very good job and be prepared to not speak to anybody about her experiences there, they will be on their toes the whole time and it can be isolating too,” she says.

“There was a trend for male nannies a few years ago, but it’s really the personality match that’s important,” says Ambrose, who says male nannies or “mannies” as they are known, count for only 10 percent of the candidates on her books.
Whether or not Meghan chooses an American nanny or “manny,” Ambrose, who founded her agency 24 years ago, says British nannies are hugely popular in both her London (Kensington) and Bath offices.
“Lots of Americans want a British nanny, maybe it’s the manners or just to offer them something different.”

Whatever option they choose, it will be a well-informed one.
“She’s worldly and she has a huge network of friends, many of whom have had children, so I think she will have been offered lots and lots of advice – it’s up to her which advice she takes!” Ambrose says.
