How Royal Family's "Private Locations" Were "Exposed" to the General Public by Their Bodyguards, Which Caused a Huge "Security Risk"

Kate Middleton wears a green dress and poses with husband Prince William and members of the Swedish Royal Family.

Members of the Royal Family are public figures, meaning they're recognizable to the general public. In order to protect their privacy, royals employ security teams to stay safe. Following an investigation by Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter, it's been revealed that the bodyguards tasked with protecting the Royal Family of Sweden, as well as the Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, inadvertently "exposed" their "private locations," causing a huge "security risk," per GB News.

As reported by The New York Times, the bodyguards working for the Swedish Royal Family "uploaded their workout routes to Strava, a fitness app that allows users to map and share their movements." Per the outlet, Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter "reported that it tracked more than 1,400 workouts by seven bodyguards over the last year."
