Canada will stop paying to protect the Duke and Duchess of Sussex when they leave public life next month, the country's public safety minister has revealed, leaving questions over who will foot the pair's estimated £20million annual security bill.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are expected to live mainly in North America after Megxit at the end of March and the local authorities had previously said they would shoulder a share of the bill along with the British Metropolitan Police.

Keep someone safe? Turdeau couldn't pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were printed on the heel.

They said they wanted to support themselves. So what’s the big deal?
Hey Meghan you could pay for your own security or maybe you and your husband could go back to work? Just a thought.
If they left the royal family why do they need security? Besides, how much could a few bodyguards and dogs cost?
Can we donate freerepublic fundraising resources to them? There must be something we can do?
