Scotland Yard officers guarding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's have said they are treated 'like skivvies' and forced to do 'menial tasks' like picking up takeaways and groceries, it has been claimed.
Highly-trained protection staff have also allegedly been seen buying food from an organic delicatessen, a favourite of Meghan's, and picking up coffees from fast food outlet Tim Hortons.
A team of 15 guards has been flown to guard the couple and their nine-month-old son Archie at their secluded Canadian bolthole, after they stood back from royal duties.
The Duke and Duchess's security is estimated to cost taxpayers in Canada and the UK between £3million and £6million a year, as staff work round the clock two weeks at a time.

Yep, like clockwork :)
Does ‘skivvies’ mean something different in UK than USA?.............
Well yeah, they’re royals. Or were.
Like our 400 plus congress folks :)
So. That’s their job, isn’t it?
They’re the ones who believe in Kings and Queens and Princes.
Why are they complaining?
They consider them taxpayer-funded servants.
I have no sympathy for Britain’s fascist leftwing cops.
UK informal. a person, in the past a female servant, who does the dirty and unpleasant jobs in a house, such as cleaning: He treats me like a skivvy
I had to look it up :)
From Wiki:
Skivvy may refer to:
Undergarments, (primarily in the United States)
Polo neck or turtle neck shirt, (primarily in the United States and Australasia)
Maid, servant, or person at the bottom of the social order (primarily in Britain)
Ungrateful peasants!

Yep ...always heard my father refer to that as slang for underwear ...in GB/UK it apparently refers to a “low ranking female servant” ...or a “maid,” I presume.
Prince Harry and Meghan are as trashy as the Clinton’s and as tacky as Joe Biden? WOW... that’s trash.
They ain’t “Royal” no mo’
unless you count royal PITA’s as Royals.
They’re the ones who believe in Kings and Queens and Princes.
You think our Secret Service is any different? Not relevant but Harry Truman refused any Secret Service Protection, my how times have changed.
They want all the perks of royalty, but none of the ‘work’....................
So did Richard Nixon, a couple years after he left the WH.................
You can call her Queen Bee.
I read something indicating that the British Royals bring in so much tourism that they pay for themselves.
However, Harry and Megan aren’t providing anything to the British anymore - only looking out for themselves - so if i were a British taxpayer I’d be pissed. Why should they pay for this when people are predicting SussexRoyal billions?
Harry, Dear... Of course you know we must cut you off. You will no longer be a Royal family member. So take your American lady friend and off you go. Oh, and don’t forget your Scotland Yard Protection Officers....
