According to reports by The Sun, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s decision to leave Archie in Canada wasn’t exactly easy on the wallet. The decision allegedly cost the couple £50,000 and adds to the Duke and Duchess’ ever-increasing security bill.
“It’s an expensive time just when the costs of looking after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are under scrutiny,” an insider told The Sun. The tab reported that the “couple’s team of about six royal protection officers cost taxpayers £600,000. This goes on salaries, overtime, overseas allowance, pensions, flights and accommodation.”
Canadian police reportedly plan to stop assisting with Meghan and Harry’s security after March 31, 2020, when the couple steps down as senior royals. After that, the responsibility will apparently rest solely with U.K. police. “Next week will demonstrate the colossal challenges and sums involved when Harry and Meghan are in London needing security just as much as Archie,” an unnamed source told The Sun. “It’s as much as another £50,000 to what’s already being run up. But none of that will matter to senior royals who are despondent at not seeing the baby for so long.”
Hey, if we all had babies as cute as Archie, we’d spare no expense to keep him safe and happy as well.
