Emma Probert | Kate Middleton’s Bodyguard

Emma Probert has been Kate Middleton’s bodyguard for more than ten years. With over a decade of service, Queen Elizabeth II has now inducted her into the Royal Victorian Order in the Birthday Honours List. Probert was assigned to the Royal Protection Unit as the protection office of Prince William’s wife in 2010.

At the time, the Cambridges were newly engaged. Probert’s lengthy tenure had earned her the right to train other bodyguards of the royal family. In fact, when they were searching for Meghan Markle’s protection officer, the new one was to be trained under Probert herself. It’s already a norm for them that a new female bodyguard would learn all the necessary ropes from the veteran. The newly-hired personnel would be on a trial period with Probert to make sure it’s the right person for the job. Sadly, no online classes could teach them what she could.
