Canada refuses to pay for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Vancouver security once they step down as full-time Royals (so WHO will?)

Canada has refused to pay for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Vancouver security once they step back from their roles as full time royals.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RMCP) has protected the couple and their baby Archie since November but has now said this will cease in the 'coming weeks', leaving questions as to who will now pick up their security costs.

Canada has now refused to pay their share of the £1 million annual security bill, the cost of which was supposed to have been split 50/50 between the UK and Canada when the couple announced they were moving.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had previously vowed to keep the couple safe while they were in Canada, but now seems to have backtracked on this promise.

Good for the Canuks. Now I guess the Brits will have to pay tens of
millions a year in security costs so the grifters can enrich themselves.

Harry is a guy who lost his mother at a young age, and the rest of his family is notoriously emotionally unavailable. Not that hard to see how a woman could take advantage of that with a little rudimentary psychological manipulation.

I might be wrong but I don’t see them making all that much money selling trinkets on the internet ? Is Harry gonna start endorsing products? He’ll lose his specialness quickly

Why would they need Security as Private Citizens??

It’s Canada!
Millions of nice friendly people and a zillion-dollar gun registry.

A cozy cabin in the woods and a snowmobile.

Good to go!

Harry made several hundred thousands when he addressed Goldman Sachs in Florida last week. They are being promoted to Leftist companies, I suspect with a nudge and a wink.

How about nobody.

Or themselves.

What’s with all these rich people with their armed security? They get what they would deny the rest of us? Screw that.

Even Trudeau can spot long term parasites.

Even as inactive royals, Harry and Meghan draw attention. Moreover, almost all the dislike and scorn that the pair have engendered would quickly reverse if they or their son were hurt or kidnapped. Instantly, as with Diana, the Queen and the royal family would be blamed. My guess is that the tab for security will end up being paid for by them in some manner.

well, hell, if they ain’t “royal” anymore, then that must mean they’ve joined the ranks of we dreaded commoners, and now that i think about it, no one but myself is paying for my own “security” ...

instead of having taxpayers pay twenty million pounds for round-the-clock armed guards, maybe they should buy a few firearms for themselves, learn to shoot, and protect themselves like the rest of us do ... would be MUCH cheaper and might give them a whole new perspective on the right to protect oneself with firearms ...

“I might be wrong but I don’t see them making all that much money selling trinkets on the internet ?”

well, they WERE gonna sell Royal Sussex brand luxury trinkets, but the Queen just nixed that, so the best they can do now is sell Sussex brand luxury trinkets, but Sussex means exactly squat to anyone in North America, so i’d say their branded luxury trinket business has taken a gigantic hit ..

IIRC, Harry was always part of the Royal Family Holiday ‘Shoots’ on the Queen’s properties. But Me-again nixed that before they were even married.
