Meghan Markle’s ex-bodyguard ‘felt sorry for her’ as he reveals what royal is really like

Meghan Markle “is a good person” with a “big heart”, her former bodyguard has revealed.

Steve Davies, who worked closely with the Duchess of Sussex when she first joined the Royal Family, has defended Meghan against multiple claims of bullying from staff members. He insists that these allegations are far from the truth.

“She gets a bad rap for being a not very good person to work with, that she was this evil person in the Royal Family,” he said. However, Steve remembered her as someone who engaged with people from all walks of life, from “working with charities to working with dog walkers and cleaners.”

One significant lesson Steve learned from Meghan was to “give respect to get respect”. He also confessed that he “felt sorry for her” when she first became a part of the Royal Family, reports The Mirror US

In an interview with In Touch Magazine, Steve explained how the constant scrutiny affected Meghan. He explained: “She was paranoid. We had people following us around everywhere we went.”

The former bodyguard recalled instances of being followed by drones and vehicles, describing it as a “nightmare”. The Duchess of Sussex was also denied freedoms she had previously enjoyed.

Steve, who once worked closely with Meghan Markle, reminisced about a time when the Duchess expressed a simple wish: to shop at a grocery store like anyone else. He recounted, “I pushed the cart around the grocery store, and she was putting stuff in it. She really enjoyed that.”
