Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s handlers gave duo unexpected nickname

While still working members of the Royal Family, Prince Harry and Meghan’s security officials used special nicknames to refer to the couple, whose protection has since been downgraded

A lot of things changed when Prince Harry and Meghan stepped down from their positions as working royals – and this included losing their full taxpayer-funded protection.

Working as a security official for the Royal Family is no easy task, requiring high levels of athleticism, mental agility, and the ability to spot a potential threat a mile away. And this means of course being extremely subtle when discussing the Royals under your protection

Which is why most royals are given a code name, and the Sussexes were no exception. Following the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Prince William and wife Kate became known as the Prince and Princess of Wales. But back in their Duke and Duchess of Cambridge days, however, the couple were referred to by security as ‘Daphne Clark’ and ‘Danny Collins’ – with the initial DC of course standing for Duke of Cambridge or Duchess of Cambridge.
