Meghan Markle has hired a new member of staff that previously worked for Kim Kardashian.
The Duchess of Sussex was pictured alongside Kardashian's former bodyguard last weekend.
The bodyguard, who has not been named, worked for the A-lister in 2016.
Another of Kim’s former bodyguards, Steve Stanulis, said: "These are guys who come from a small pool of elite bodyguards, from either police or military backgrounds.

"Usually if a guy is good enough to work for high-profile stars, it’s not unusual for them to be sought-after.
"Not only for protection but also for clout. It looks good."
He added during an interview with The Sun: "Kim’s security will be paramount. It’s no different for Harry and Meghan, they are world-famous and equally as vulnerable."
It comes as Meghan was seen in public while on a hike with pals near her home in Montecito.
Prince Harry did not appear to be with his wife during her hike.
The Duke of Sussex rushed back from his father's Coronation in order to celebrate Prince Archie's fourth birthday with Meghan in the US.
He flew immediately back to Los Angles following the historic ceremony.
Whilst senior members of the Royal Family headed to Buckingham Palace to watch the flypast, the Duke of Sussex darted to Heathrow Airport to catch his flight home.

The flight from Heathrow direct to Los Angeles landed just before 6:30pm local time on Saturday evening.
However, Prince Harry may not have made it to his Montecito mansion before Prince Archie's bedtime.
Montecito is almost 100 miles away from Los Angeles and a minimum two-hour drive.
