Meghan and Harry ‘hire Kim Kardashian’s former bodyguard to protect them in California after firing minder who used to work for Michael Jackson’
Meghan Markle has seemingly taken on Kim Kardashian‘s former bodyguard to keep her safe.
The Duchess of Sussex, 41, was seen with the American socialite’s ex-muscle while walking over the weekend – just hours after she missed King Charles III‘s coronation.
The mother-of-two donned black leggings and a matching, baggy T-shirt for the outing, as well as a khaki jacket, which she tied around her waist.
Top bodyguards can cost as much as $1,800 a day. Meghan and Harry’s protection stopped being funded by the UK taxpayer in 2020.
Only recently Harry and Meghan sacked bodyguard Alberto Alvarez, 46, who used to work for Michael Jackson, over worries about drink-driving convictions and a domestic violence allegation.

Meghan was noticeably absent from the coronation in the UK this weekend, opting to stay back in the US to celebrate her son Archie’s ‘lowkey’ fourth birthday at her and Prince Harry’s Montecito home.
Harry, 38, attended King Charles’ big day, but rushed back to California afterwards.
He headed straight to the airport as soon as the ceremony concluded, and was on the plane before his father and stepmother Camilla, the newly crowned queen, had even finished having their official portraits taken.

A source said that while most members of the Royal Family ‘breathed a sigh of relief’ that Harry left so quickly, King Charles, 74, seemed ‘genuinely quite disappointed that he didn’t stay’
He was seen landing back at LAX airport around 6.30pm on Saturday – after spending a total of 28 hours and 42 minutes in Britain.
Despite Harry’s quick exit, the King honoured Archie after the coronation, raising a glass to toast the toddler’s fourth birthday.
A source said that while most members of the Royal Family ‘breathed a sigh of relief’ that Harry didn’t join them at the celebration afterwards, King Charles, 74, seemed ‘genuinely quite disappointed that he didn’t stay.’
Charles thanked everyone who had worked hard to make the day so special, before paying tribute to ‘those that weren’t there’, including Archie, who he wished a very happy birthday ‘wherever he was’.
