Meghan Markle hires Kim Kardashian's 'elite' bodyguard after missing Coronation

ok.co.uk:

Meghan Markle has hired a bodyguard previously employed by Kim Kardashian, it has emerged.The guard, sporting some slick shades, was spotted trailing behind her and two friends on her hike near the Duchess's spectacular abode in Montecito, California, just hours after skipping the Coronation for her father-in-law King Charles.

According to The Sun, the unnamed man previously served as a bodyguard for the popular reality TV star, 42, both before and after the shocking armed robbery incident in Paris in 2016, where £7 million of jewellery was stolen at her Paris hotel.

Another of Kim’s former bodyguards, Steve Stanulis, said: “These are guys who come from a small pool of elite bodyguards, from either police or military backgrounds. “Usually if a guy is good enough to work for high-profile stars, it’s not unusual for them to be sought-after." Steve, now a filmmaker, added: “Kim’s security will be paramount.

It’s no different for Harry and Meghan — they are world-famous and equally as vulnerable.” Prince Harry, 38, and Meghan recently made the decision to swap up their security personnel, after previously employing a guard who had worked for the late Michael Jackson.
