Meghan Markle has taken another step back into her old Hollywood lifestyle, with the Duchess of Sussex hiring Kim Kardashian’s former bodyguard.
The mum-of-two, 41, has been spotted with the reality star's former bodyguard near her Montecito mansion in California.
The Duchess of Sussex looked off-duty in the snaps with her new security while taking a hike, on what happened to be the day of her father-in-law King Charles III's Coronation (May 6).
It has been revealed that Meghan's new protector was pulled from a "small pool of elite bodyguards" and even minded Kim around the time that she was robbed at gunpoint in Paris back in 2016.
The former Suits actress, who played Rachel Zane in the hit show, was seen with her new A-List-approved security over the weekend as her husband travelled back to the US from the UK.
Harry had visited the UK for a total of 28 hours for his father, King Charles II's Coronation, which took place at Westminster Abbey in Central London.
Meghan's new bodyguard is said to be "sought after" with another of Kim's former bodyguards, Steve Stanulis, 48, telling The Sun that these kinds of security guards are "not only for protection but also for clout. It looks good".
Meghan was spotted on a hike in Montecito while he husband flew back from the UK, which all came days after the Markle family took to Australian television to talk about the Duchess.
The actress-turned-Duchess' estranged family trio united on TV one week before the King's Coronation to address why they think Meghan distanced herself from them when marrying into the British Royal Family.
Sitting down for an explosive chat on Australia's 7NEWS Spotlight, Meghan's estranged father Thomas Markle Snr, her half-sister Samantha and her half-brother Thomas Jr lifted the lid on one of the most famous women in the world.
Speaking out about Meghan, whom the trio haven't been in contact with since 2018, they were asked why they think Meghan would publicly distance herself from them.
They explained how they think that Meghan cut ties with them because she doesn't deem them "good enough" for the royals.
The duchess cut tied with the trio and their families came after her father staged paparazzi photos prior to Meghan marrying Harry in May 2018.
