“Behind the Shield: Unveiling the Secrets of the Royal Bodyguards Who Stand Between the Crown and Danger”
Every Royal Has Their Own Bodyguard
Everyone in the royal family has an individual bodyguard to ensure that they’re protected at all times. They typically have a group of guards that makes sure the royals are safe during large events, but there’s one specific person who follows them constantly.
The bodyguard isn’t always right next to the royal family member, so it may not be immediately obvious that they’re being looked out for. But if a safety measure were ever breached, a guard would pop out in a heartbeat.
It Takes Months Of Training To Get The Greenlight
Getting hired as a bodyguard for the royal family isn’t a walk in the park. Regardless of how much experience the applicants may have, they still need to be put through a thorough evaluation that includes months of training before they can be trusted.
A former member of the Royal Protection Department, Simon Morgan, says that he went through 30 weeks of courses to be sure he could handle the job. That’s seven and a half months of learning about things like combat, driving, and more to the extent that he wouldn’t make a single mistake.
Kate’s Bodyguard Used To Work For Other Princesses

Female officers are often assigned to female members of the royal family to help ensure that they can be comfortable. Before working with Kate, Emma was a part of Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie’s detail team.
