Meghan Markle “is a good person” with a “big heart”, her former bodyguard has revealed.

Steve Davies, who worked closely with the Duchess of Sussex when she first joined the Royal Family, has defended Meghan against multiple claims of bullying from staff members. He insists that these allegations are far from the truth.

“She gets a bad rap for being a not very good person to work with, that she was this evil person in the Royal Family,” he said. However, Steve remembered her as someone who engaged with people from all walks of life, from “working with charities to working with dog walkers and cleaners.”

In an interview with In Touch Magazine, Steve explained how the constant scrutiny affected Meghan. He explained: “She was paranoid. We had people following us around everywhere we went.”

The former bodyguard recalled instances of being followed by drones and vehicles, describing it as a “nightmare”. The Duchess of Sussex was also denied freedoms she had previously enjoyed.

Steve, who once worked closely with Meghan Markle, reminisced about a time when the Duchess expressed a simple wish: to shop at a grocery store like anyone else. He recounted, “I pushed the cart around the grocery store, and she was putting stuff in it. She really enjoyed that.”

The former actress from ‘Suits’ also shared how her personal items, such as her passport and keys, were held by Royal aides. Reflecting on her desire for normalcy, she said, “People within The Firm would say, ‘No, you’re oversaturated, it would be best for you to not go out.’ I go, ‘Well, I haven’t left the house in months’.”

Despite Buckingham Palace staff levelling bullying accusations against her, which she has consistently refuted, Steve painted a picture of Meghan as “warm and considerate” based on his experiences with her in Canada.

He also noted that people are often taken aback by Meghan’s friendliness “what a big heart she has”. Although Steve no longer serves as her aide, he spoke highly of his former employer, saying he wouldn’t hesitate to work for her again, calling the Duchess a commendable boss.
