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.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau assured the Queen when Megxit was announced in January that Harry and Meghan would be kept safe while living in his country.

Why would WHO pay for it in the first place? They deal with medical issues.

I thought Harry was pimping her to Bob Iger (of Disney) a bit ago to do voiceovers for them. Since Iger has either been demoted/or stepped down to second in command now at Mickey World, wonder if Harry will have to go back to the well to extoll her wonderous talents?

The Brits will be forced to pay tens of millions of dollars a year so the grifters
can make tens of millions of dollars a year.

Aussie taxpayers are already screaming bloody murder about security costs.

Markle is making Wallis look like a piker, and Harry is making Edward look better in comparison.

Ye gad.
