    It’s completely absurd to me that they would have the audacity to expect American taxpayers to foot the bill for their security. They renounced their royal status. All they had to do was be nice decent people and they would be set for life. neither one could pull it off.

    Prince Charles plans to foot a majority of the bill for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's security amid their move to the United States after President Trump insisted the multimillion dollar cost would not fall on taxpayers, according to a report.

    Two questions.
    1. Why does a body guard or two require $2.5 million?
    2. Why do they need body guards in the first place? If they want to give up being elites then they should live people giving up elitism.

    That bitch is trash. Harry could have had any woman he wanted but he picked the queen of the trailer park. He needs to wake up and grow a set of balls.

    Good questions. Why do they need body guards unless they don't trust Americans who couldn't care less about them?

    “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have no plans to ask the U.S. government for security resources,” a spokesperson for Meghan and Harry told Fox News. “Privately funded security arrangements have been made.”


    Well ****. I’m announcing I won’t be paying for their security either.

    So much for marking it on their own.

    I know Trump refused to pay for it, which is fine. What I haven't been able to find is where they asked and/or demanded it. Can you provide that link, please?

    Where does Prince Charles get $2.5 large to just piss away? What job does he have and what does it pay?

    If you really don't know, it means you truly don't care, so the answer is unimportant. They are a net gain to the country, though. I doubt you'll find that interesting.

    It's comments like these that are the reason this couple requires personal security.

    Bitch? Really? That's someone's daughter, and WTF did she ever do to you?

    Yes, she is a Father's Daughter and she has shut him out of her life and now, she is part of causing Harry to shut his Family out.

    Ultimately it's to protect the Queen and the Royals.

    Having either of these two abducted, or especially their kid, and held for ransom to be paid for by the Crown would not only be expensive but a huge embarrassment.

    I couldn't care less but they do apparently.

    Yes. What power on this Planet would move a Royal, brought up as one, to give it all up? His child. This bitch told Harry, "I am going back to North America with our Son. Opening fetes, revealing plaques etc and stuff like that is not my thing, but I really do like your money and prestige. Now.........Choose."

    I didn't even know they were in the US.

    Security?!? This is America. Come over to my house, we'll spend an afternoon familiarizing with firearm operation, and then they can go buy the most reliable security in the world for ~$500.

    Will Harry and Meghan get US-taxpayer funded Secret Service protection in LA? Couple will have to ask for 'special help' and the final decision could rest with President Trump as Canadians bid the couple and their security costs farewell
    • The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and baby Archie made a last minute dash from Canada to the US this week to start their new life in LA
    • Questions are now being asked about who will foot the bill for their new Hollywood lifestyles
    • A royal source said the couple will need to ask for 'special help' from President Trump if they want Secret Service protection in the US
    • Harry will no longer be entitled to diplomatic protection in the US, because he is not an 'international protected person' after Megxit
    • Angry Canadians on social media seemed glad to see the back of the couple
    • They slammed the couple for not contributing to Canada, saying 'we got played'
    • Others criticized their move to fly across borders with baby Archie during pandemic but not return to UK where Prince Charles is sick with coronavirus
    • Some US residents were happy to hear the Sussexes were new neighbors

    Canada picked up their bill and then Meghan wanted to live near Mommy so they split suddenly. So Trump responded. That's basically it in a nutshell.
    Canada 'offers to pick up Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's £500,000 security bill while the couple are in the country'
    • Justin Trudeau agrees taxpayers in his country should help pay protection costs
    • He has assured the Queen that Harry and Meghan will be safe while in Canada
    • His country is expected to pay around half of the estimated £1million annual bill
    • But there are concerns that the large cost could lead to a backlash in Canada

    LOL. So they didn't ask. "sources say" "will have to."

    Not a single word that they asked/demanded.

    Got it.

    So, why are your undies in a bunch?

    They should move to a US state that still has some semblance of 2A rights - & protect their own damn selves, lol... (Tis the 'American' way)

    It's amazing how many "wealthy"people can't live without handouts.
