Chris, 39, is taking no chances when it comes to he and his family's safety after it was revealed he was being harassed by a female stalker.
He has implemented a top security arrangement to put his wife of seven years' mind at ease after she was left frightened in the wake of the incident.
A source close to the pair told the Mail Online: "Particularly when [Camilla] was post-partum, she was petrified she wouldn't be able to outrun this individual.
"Normally she's unbreakable, the backbone of the family, but this has reduced her to a shell of the strong woman we all know. For Chris, watching this has been heartbreaking.
"They have invested in top-of-the-range security systems to keep the family safe."
The duo share children Wilding, five, and 18-month-old Hunter together.
The Sun were the first to reveal the heartache surrounding Chris and his family after the stalker incident left him debating whether to pull out of the BBC dance contest before it had begun.
Pals close to the England rugby legend said he had been targeted by the woman after briefly meeting her twice during work events last year, with the initial abuse starting six months after meeting him.
He called in police after the woman threatened him with violence and spread false allegations about him and other people he worked with.
The woman, who The Sun is not naming, now appears on the National Police Wanted List.

She is understood to have left the country and is being sought by cops.
With the scary incident still looming, a further source told the Mail how Camilla had asked Chris to upgrade the security detail on their leafy Surrey mansion as opposed to buying her birthday gifts.
They said: "They've talked about the idea of a security guard dog because they love their animals but also Camilla especially, would feel more protected.
"It's heartbreaking that it's come to this but that's how seriously they are taking it.
"This stalker business is no joke. She's destroyed the lives of small business owners, families, and left others thousands of pounds out of pocket.
"The claims she makes are sickening, and some of her victims have been left struggling mentally after their ordeal."
Chris, who retired from professional rugby in 2022, was announced as a contestant last week.
Those close to him revealed his ordeal started last July when he attended the same event as the woman.
She went on to make a series of disturbing and damning allegations about Chris and his wife Camilla, 39, as well as other people she worked with.
A source said: 'It's been absolutely terrible for Chris and Camilla.
'He met this woman twice, very briefly, during work events and then she started telling all sorts of awful lies about him.
'He was never alone with her and they barely spoke so he's got no idea why she targeted him."
