KEEPING SAFE WITH FEMALE BODYGUARDS

The Royal women are always accompanied by security officers, but they have made some interesting and innovative choices. All three Duchesses - Camilla, Kate, and Meghan - have demonstrated a preference for female bodyguards.

UNDER CONSTANT GUARD 24 HOURS A DAY

Becoming a Royal means giving up on privacy. Royals are never alone, not to step out for a walk, or to have an ice cream.

Members of the Royal Family are accompanied by security officers every moment of their day. Traditionally, Royal bodyguards are male, but the three Duchesses have opted for female protection.

This detail came to light during the Dukes of Sussex recent tour to the Antipodes, where a security scare in Fiji revealed that the Duchess' bodyguard is a woman.

Duchess Kate's bodyguard is Sergeant Emma Probert, and she was first assigned to her in 2010 after she became engaged to Prince William.

Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall has a female bodyguard too, and during her visit to the United Arab Emirates, she insisted on an all-female security team.
