After skipping King Charles III’s coronation, Meghan Markle was spotted with a new bodyguard who had previously worked with reality TV star Kim Kardashian.
Following the new monarch’s coronation, the Duchess of Sussex went hiking in Los Angeles with the mystery minder by her side.
The Kardashians star’s bodyguard reportedly worked with her in 2016 both before and after she was robbed in Paris, according to a report by The Sun.
As Meghan Markle hires Kim Kardashian’s ex-bodyguard, speaking to the outlet, another of Kardashian’s former bodyguards, Steve Stanulis, said the Suits alum might have hired the new security guy to “look good.”
“These are guys who come from a small pool of elite bodyguards, from either police or military backgrounds,” he said.
“Usually if a guy is good enough to work for high-profile stars, it’s not unusual for them to be sought-after,” Stanulis added. “Not only for protection but also for clout. It looks good.”
He continued: “Kim’s security will be paramount. It’s no different for Harry and Meghan — they are world-famous and equally as vulnerable.”
Another source told the publication, “Meghan and Harry have used a lot of different close protection personnel. There have been some stresses based on concerns they have expressed.”
