Since Prince Harry (35) and Duchess Meghan (38) with son Archie (nine months) have turned away from the British royal family, is hotly debated about their future. One of the biggest issues: Who pays for their security? The security costs could amount to around CHF 25 million, as the “Mirror” writes.

“The Metropolitan Police has been instructed to provide calculations before the government makes its funding decision,” said a source in the “Mirror” about the British police. Both parties are concerned because the cost situation has risen to over CHF 13 million a year and easily reached CHF 25 million. There is currently no agreement or concrete plan as the Metropolitan Police and the Home Office are arguing over funding.

Meghan and Harry’s new life is a security nightmare
The British police are now worried that if the couple travels around the world, they will not be able to cope. Experts warned that Harry and Meghan’s new life would be a security nightmare that would drive up costs. They assume that the police are planning to double the family’s protection team. Former protection officer Dai Davies said the move will put even more strain on the police: “In their current state, the plans are unworkable.” There is already a serious shortage of trained officers, and this only adds to the predicament.

More and more demand for protection from the royal couple
An internal report by Scotland Yard, which the “Mirror” is said to have seen, reveals a personnel crisis within the security team. The couple should ask more and more about protection. Since leaving the royal family and moving to Canada, Harry and Meghan have traveled between Vancouver, the United States and the United Kingdom. At times, the two and Archie were all three in different places. Travel, accommodation costs and overtime payments will explode, with residences in several countries. (BSN)
