Some, owing to their ignorance, some because of blatant media outrage, things do get messed up a lot for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. In fact, when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle employed a bodyguard for the safety of their family, even that turned out to be no less than a controversy. 

Reports have it that the self-exiled pair had mistakenly employed a convicted criminal as their protector.

Daily Mail has recently published that their bodyguard, Pere Daobry, was once accused of domestic violence in 2016. The 51-year-old former police officer was beating and torturing her wife harshly for some unsaid trivial matters. During the conviction of the assault, his wife had brutal sore and swelling marks on different parts of her body, including the neck and back. Paparazzi spotted him recently with the duo a month later. He was evidently driving Harry and Meghan from Frogmore Cottage in Windsor to London’s Euston Station.

Insiders have raised questions regarding Meghan Markle’s stance on the oppression of women at the hands of a chauvinistic society. The Duchess has time and again spoken about how women are often deprived of their basic fundamental rights of surviving with dignity. Starting from her weekly podcasts to various public campaigns, she has always advocated the basic necessities of American citizens. Hence, employing anyone as such with a totally contradicting past to her own ideologies did not sit well with many.
