“Behind the Shield: Unveiling the Secrets of the Royal Bodyguards Who Stand Between the Crown and Danger”
Kate’s Bodyguard Married A Fellow Royal Protection Officer
Once Kate and William officially became engaged, the soon-to-be Duchess received round-the-clock protection by her very own security team. Sergeant Emma Probert became Kate’s personal protection officer in 2010, just a year after losing her husband in a skiing accident.
As fate would have it, Emma ended up meeting her next husband through the royal family’s security. Officer Colin Childs is a part of Queen Elizabeth II’s protection detail, and he ended up hitting it off with Emma. Though the security couple keeps their relationship details private, it’s sweet to know they met their mate while on the job.
Extending The Protection To Social Media
Since social media enables people from around the world to freely express their opinions, the royals have to be just as protected virtually as they are in real life. For this reason, the royals are very selective about the accounts they open.
To help protect the royal family via social media, their security came up with guidelines that must be followed by anyone interacting with their accounts. If a rule is broken, the individual’s posts can be deleted and their account blocked.
They Use Nicknames And Initials
As you may have expected, the royal family’s protection officers are as secretive as possible, even when it comes to names. To prevent giving anything away to the wrong person, the bodyguards use codenames when talking about the royal family members.
