AMANDA PLATELL: Stump up for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's protection? That's rich!
Daily Mail ^ | February 28, 2020 | Amanda Platell

What a shock it must have been for the Duke of Sussex to learn that his adopted host nation Canada would no longer foot part of the bill for his family’s police protection.

How could this be? Harry’s and Meghan’s bestie, PM Justin Trudeau, had welcomed them warmly in December. And the country is a second home to Meghan; it’s where she found happiness and fame on the TV series Suits.

What’s more, it is a member of the Commonwealth, for which Harry and Meghan were devoted youth ambassadors. But they were forced to relinquish their roles after stepping away from royal duties.

"Poll after poll in Canada have shown that no one wants to pay taxes for the Sussexes"

I wonder why...

You have easier access to guns in Canada than England

Basically shotguns and bolt action and Cylinder pistols with rather long barrels

Anything else is restricted and for home or range only

But it’s better than England and they abolished the long gun registry in 2011 I think

England is weird....shotguns up to three shot

Anything in .22 LR except handguns

Nearly all bolt actions

But all are licensed ...and permit needed

It’s worse than Canada ...very unfree

If I were British, I would be outraged.

The problem for the monarchy is that attitude is spreading. First in the UK, then Canada, now Australia.

Markle really is making Wallis look like a piker.

Meghan will probably hang tough with Harry until she snaps off another kid - “an heir and a spare” - to harden her position.

But she needs to get cracking since she’s fast approaching the “best used by” date.

So, because Meghan-ex-princess moved to Cana-duh, because We The People elected DJT for President, I wonder who’s sorry now!

I had a brilliant and beautiful relative (by marriage) much older than me. Back in the 1940s, I heard her say: "I have guns. They're not registered. They're never going to be registered."

Once when she stopped at an intersection, some men tried to open the door to her car. She pulled a pistol from under her seat and aimed it at them. They left her alone.

By the time she died, she was extremely rich.

She is one of the most intelligent people I've ever known. She was pretty, but her inner glow and her staggering intelligence made her absolutely beautiful.

Harry is hangin’ with Bon Jovi and recording at Abbey Road studios. He could pay for his security off record deals. Oh, why bother. No one would ever kidnap that yappy mouthed wife of his.

She had Archie gestating for 11 months. How long will the next one take?

Americans should be eternally grateful to the Founding Fathers of the USA!

One of their greatest gifts to us was the abolition of the monarchy and of hereditary titles!

Be grateful! Be eternally grateful!

We had an alpaca that gestated for a year and a day. Who knows how long it takes for exotic livestock?

“I thought they wanted to live a NORMAL life.”

Yea — “normal” people do not have a 24/7 security detail paid for by others. Beware of what you want/wish for H&M — too bad; so sad.

You mean father.
Well, maybe. I don't see much family resemblance. I doubt is any DNA testing was done.
