One is the Queen of reality TV, while the other is the Duchess of Sussex. Aside from their titles, Kim Kardashian and Meghan Markle have similar tastes in men.

No, this has nothing to do with the influential women's relationships with men. Instead, their resemblance stems from their choices regarding their security teams.

The former Hollywood sensation recently upgraded the muscles protecting her and Prince Harry, choosing a man affiliated with the "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star.

As the world tuned in on May 6 to watch the historic coronation of King Charles III, Meghan skipped the formalities to stay with her children in California.

Instead of viewing the crowning ceremony on TV, the "Suits" star kept her body in shape by hiking near her home. The royal member looked radiant in black leggings and a matching black tee while a khaki jacket was tied around her waist.

As the mother-of-two enjoyed her stroll, a familiar face protected her rear. The bodyguard, dressed in a gray top and jeans, donned a black backpack as he followed the Duchess around.

Per reports, the escort, who appeared confident in protecting the former entertainer on his lonesome, first caught the media's attention as Kardashian's employee. However, Markle seemingly hired the minder after losing her former bodyguard.

When the UK taxpayers stopped funding the Sussexes' protection fees in 2020, the couple became responsible for hiring their security. One of their muscles was Alberto Alvarez, a former employee of the late Michael Jackson.

However, the royals allegedly fired their ex-bodyguard because they were worried about the 46-year-old's drink-driving convictions and domestic violence allegations.

Another similarity between the SKIMS founder and the "A Face without Freckles" author was their love for basketball. Last month, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stole hearts with an adorable kiss cam moment.

The couple enjoyed a cute date night flaunting their love at an NBA game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Memphis Grizzlies. While watching the match, the dynamic duo was tempted to display their affections steamy.

During the traditional kiss cam segment in the basketball game, the lovebirds appeared on the jumbotron, eliciting wild cheers from the audience. As the crowd urged them to lock lips, Prince Harry was ready to satisfy their request as he leaned toward his wife.

However, the "Good Behavior" actress seemingly got shy as she chose to link arms with her beau instead of accepting his kiss. Despite her playful snub, the Sussexes warmed viewers' hearts by snuggling together in their seats.

As mentioned above, basketball was an enjoyable sport for the "Harry & Meghan" star and the former Mrs. West. The voluptuous goddess was present at the match alongside other A-listers, including Hollywood veteran Adam Sandler and Hip-hop icon Sean' Diddy' Combs.

The crowning ceremony for Britain's new monarch was a splendid occasion that was naturally all about King Charles and Queen Camilla. However, The Blast reported that the Head of the Commonwealth realms took a moment to honor his grandson, Prince Archie.

The young royal did not attend his grandfather's event as it coincided with the boy's fourth birthday. Nonetheless, the Duke of Sussex represented the Prince, his younger sister Princess Lillibet, and their mother.

Although Prince Harry attended the coronation ceremony, the ginger-haired royal reportedly left the event after the church service. The former militant was spotted heading to the US to join his wife in marking their son's birthday.

According to a source, the King seemed "genuinely disappointed that he didn't stay," while most members of the Royal Family "breathed a sigh of relief" at Harry's absence. Following the Duke's departure, Charles showed love to his youngest son and grandson during a get-together for lunch.

Joined by his oldest son Prince William and other prominent monarchy members, the 74-year-old raised a glass to celebrate those who made his coronation a success.

After toasting his three grandchildren from the Prince of Wales, the doting grandfather paid tribute to "those that weren't there" before wishing Prince Archie a happy birthday "wherever he was."
