Meghan Markle has received praise from a former employee amid ongoing reports suggesting she is difficult to work with. Steve Davies, who was once the Duchess of Sussex’s bodyguard, spoke in Markle’s defense, describing her as a “warm and thoughtful” person who remains gracious under pressure.
In an interview with GB NewsDavies highlighted Meghan’s friendly nature and willingness to help others, countering negative public perceptions of her. “He has a bad reputation for not being a good person to work with, for being a bad person in the Royal Family,” Davies explained. However, her personal experience painted a very different picture of the duchess.
“I saw it, from working in the studio to working with charities and working with dog walkers and cleaners.” Davies shared, adding“There is a great lesson I learned from her: give respect to be respected.”
Davies also reflected on how Meghan’s life changed dramatically in 2016 after she started dating Prince Harry. “I felt sorry for her because she had gone from being a celebrity to being a member of the biggest family in the world,” he said, acknowledging the pressures that come with transitioning into the British royal family.
Her comments are in stark contrast to the criticism Meghan has faced in the media, particularly regarding claims of being a difficult boss. Davies’s account emphasizes her compassion, kindness, and ability to treat those around her with respect, offering a more nuanced perspective on the duchess’s character.
