Meghan Markle and Prince Harry face having to ask President Trump for 'special help' if they want Secret Service protection for their new life in LA, as Canadians bid the couple and their security costs farewell.
Trump will have the final say over whether the couple can have diplomatic protection in the US, because Harry will no longer be classed as an 'international protected person' when he completes the final phase of Megxit next week, according to a royal source.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and ten-month-old baby Archie made a last minute dash across the border 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.

"If he refuses they will have to pay for private security"
They can afford it far better than the vast number of US taxpayers can.
"However Royal experts do not believe Harry will turn to a private security firm."
That's his decision to make.
Maybe Nancy Pelosi will extort US-taxpayer funded Secret Service protection for Harry and Meghan out of the next coronavirus emergency financial legislation.
“Poor Harry got seduced and made a bad deal.”
Seduced by a Succubus.

Since they hate Trump, doubt they will ask. And they shouldn't, they aren't royalty now.Casper.., Austin, United States, 1 day ago
that would probably be the one that could cost Trump the election...
And the supreme irony is that President Trump long ago expressed deep respect for the UK and the British Royal Family, and it was he who restored the bust of Winston Churchill to the Oval Office of the White House after Obama had had it removed.
And that’s precisely why he should have one.
That tweet made my week.
Looks like the Brits will be picking up the security expense.
Megan owes back taxes. Her mother has also received lots of new expensive stuff and owes taxes. Megan is in talks with Gate’s wife to form a “foundation” for charity.
No, according to the NY Post - Trump says US will not pay for Prince Harry, Meghan Markle security
Since he is no longer a royal prince, what is his last name? He will certainly need one, if only to get a driver’s license. Will he adopt his wife’s last name and become Mr. Harry Merkle? Will he become Mr. Harry Windsor? Or will he become Mr. Harry Fool?
He will be Harry Formerly Known as Prince.
Trump says No
Harry, Meghan: 'No Plans to Ask U.S. for Help'
Trump seems to have gotten the impression the the royals would ask the U.S. to pay for their security from an article in the Daily Mail. The article, which is largely based on claims attributed to a “royal source,” says the couple will have to “plead” with the president for protection. In essence, Trump’s tweet was a response to rumors that the couple would ask for his help, rather than an actual request.
Later on Sunday, the royal couple replied to those rumors saying, in a statement to Chris Ship, royal correspondent for British television network ITV, that “privately funded security arrangements have been made” and that Meghan and Harry have “no plans” to get assistance from the U.S.
