Meghan Markle’s former bodyguard has stepped forward to defend the Duchess against allegations and shed light on her true character. Steve Davies, who closely worked with Meghan during her time in the Royal Family, has refuted claims of her being difficult to work with, asserting that she is a “good person” with a “big heart.” Contrary to the negative portrayals, Steve shared his experiences of Meghan connecting with people from various backgrounds, including those involved with charities, dog walkers, and cleaners.
Highlighting the importance of mutual respect, Steve mentioned that Meghan believed in “give respect to get respect.” He also sympathized with her struggles during the intense media scrutiny that surrounded her royal life, describing how she became “paranoid” with people following them everywhere they went. Steve recalled instances of being trailed by drones and cars, emphasizing the loss of freedom Meghan experienced due to the constant surveillance.
In a personal anecdote, Steve recounted a moment when Meghan expressed a longing for ordinary activities like grocery shopping, where he pushed the cart as she picked out items, enjoying a sense of normalcy. Despite being restricted by royal protocols, as revealed by Meghan in previous interviews, Steve described her as warm, considerate, and kind-hearted, dispelling the negative narratives that have circulated about her conduct within the Royal Family.
Even amid accusations of bullying from Buckingham Palace officials, which Meghan denied vehemently, Steve’s encounters with her in Canada portrayed her in a positive light, showcasing her warmth and consideration towards others. He expressed admiration for her charity work and expressed a willingness to work with her again, referring to Meghan as an exemplary leader. Steve’s insights offer a glimpse into the real Meghan Markle beyond the sensationalised headlines, portraying her as a compassionate individual navigating the complexities of royal life.
