'THEY should pay!' British taxpayers' fury as £20m bill for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's security bill falls entirely on UK after Canada refuses to pay it after Megxit
UK Daily Mail ^ | February 28, 2020 | Rory Tingle

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were facing an angry backlash today as their £20million security bill looks set to fall squarely on British taxpayers after Canada refused to keep paying. Canadian police confirmed last night it would stop assisting with security for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex when they step down as working royals and become private citizens after Megxit on March 31. This means the cost of round-the-clock protection for the couple and baby Archie will fall solely to the taxpayer-funded Metropolitan Police, despite the couple leaving the UK for North America.

Me-again THINKS she is Royal simply because she married Harry. But Harry is the only Royal as they didn’t ask for a title for Archie (and I am still wondering if Me-again was ever actually pregnant.....too many inconsistencies). Me-again may someday be required to pay the piper for her manipulations and nastiness.

If they are private citizens now, let them live like it.

They can arm themselves just like every other private Canadian citizen.

I don’t care what the tabloids say. I wasn’t aware they were saying this?
I have my own opinion.
I stated it.
If you disagree, fine.

The Acts of Succession. Plural, right?

They’ve been modified before. They can be again.

“At some point he will get tired of her and they will divorce..”

Hope he has a good pre-nup although as stupid and cross eyed pussy whipped as he is I doubt it. Besides, she wouldn’t have agreed to it.

This is EXACTLY what the rich liberal elites think they have a right too, and we lower peons have NO RIGHT to protect ourselves against the criminals, thieves, rapists, murderers and socialist/communist dimocrats who attack us. They can kiss my hip pockets. Like Chuck Heston said: “From my cold dead hands.” If you got to go down, at least go down fighting and trying to protect yourself.

How though are Charles and Camilla to be persuaded to shun the throne?

Give them some signs to put up on their mansion saying “This is a gun-free zone.” There. Done.

Otherwise, let them pay for security their own danged selves.

Because if they don’t, in the current situation, it will spell the end of the monarchy.

I doubt that Charles will easily accept that he must sacrifice his time on the throne because of the antics of Harry and Meghan.

True.
But he has to be pragmatic.
William and kate have the chance to unite the country far better than Charles and Camilla.

...,
Sure it is. ...nothing wrong there, however,
“Baby Archie”, not so good. Things have a way of sticking. ...

Canada has some trappings of royalty but for the most part the royalty remains in Britain and other than the occasional visit doesn’t have to do much in service of it all. Now that the pair has decided on an extended stay there is a cost. But since they are losing their designated royal status there is no reason for Canada to keep paying. I would assume they are now going to be like distant relatives of the Queen without that designation. Those who fall into that category don’t get any special security or what not.

If they really wanted the trappings they could lobby to become Governor General. They get a nice estate in Ottawa and security but along with that come some royal duties like opening Parliament and signing bills etc.

I'm not so sure it's just Megan leading Harry. Harry's always done his own thing and likely wanted a wife who would be willing to get out of dodge if it came to that. He may be Royal but I never saw him as wanting the lifestyle itself...he always was escaping to Africa or his other interests.

Megan's just a 3rd rate actor and a destructive force as her own dysfunctional family and previous marriage and relationships attests to....so her history is laden with a trail of people she's used along the way. Neither of them have appreciated their family they were born into as I see it. Booth have run away from them one way or another. Canadians have decided they're not worth the expense....so I think they'll end up living in Hollywood where body guards are plentiful and the celebrities will fawn over them as they do each other. (Prince)Harry's the ticket for that as we've already seen and the crowd they enjoy being with,....for however long the marriage lasts.
